Student Elections

Elections are an important part of the university's governance. They provide opportunities for staff and students to contribute to decision making processes and help shape the future of the University.

Elections for staff and student positions on the University Council, Academic Senate, and College Boards are conducted by Legal and Governance Services, with the University Secretary acting as the Returning Officer.

Please note Other bodies throughout the University conduct their own elections for positions on their Boards and Committees. This webpage only covers elections managed by Legal and Governance Services.
