Senate of College Councils

The Senate of College Councils is the coordinating body for the individual college councils, which are composed of student leaders enrolled in the University’s colleges and schools. Since 1973, the Senate of College Councils has worked directly with the councils to promote academic programs, to encourage teaching excellence, and to represent student opinion on academic issues to the administration. The Senate of College Councils reviews the budgetary policies and approves the annual budgets of each of the college councils funded by the Student Services Budget Committee. Two members serve on the Faculty Council, which is responsible for evaluating undergraduate curricular changes and degree programs for the University. The Senate of College Councils also works with Student Government to accomplish goals that benefit all University students. The Senate of College Councils office is located on the second floor of the Student Activity Center; interested students should call (512) 471-3166 for additional information, or visit the Senate of College Councils website.
