EXPAND YOUR EDUCATION
Student Government AssociationThe Student Government Association (SGA) meets every Tuesday during fall and spring semesters, in SSCB 1.100. SGA meetings are open to all interested UHCL students. This is a great opportunity to find out what’s going on around campus, discuss items of concern to students and to organizations, and provide student input to university administration. Students are elected to university committees through the SGA, with elections in April and in August. Elections for the four-member SGA Executive Council are held in the spring, with information and applications posted in February and elections held in April.
