About SGA

What is SGA?

SGA is UHCL's student government body and official student representative organization. SGA is composed of an internally-selected representative from each of the recognized student organizations on campus.


Who Runs SGA?

The President, VP - Committee Coordinator, VP - Student Outreach and Communication, and VP - Administration are elected by a majority vote. These four officers comprise the Student Government Association Executive Council for one-year term of office, commencing on the day of the annual Student Life Banquet, which is normally held in late April.

All members of the SGA Executive Council must officially represent a recognized UHCL student organization. As such, each SGA leader has an equal voice and vote with all other SGA representatives.
