The Senate is comprised of 80 total seats, with 50 reserved for Academic Senators. Within those 50, seats are allocated based on the proportion of each academic college’s annual enrollment. Each semester, students are able to apply to fill any empty seats for their academic college.

Academic Senators will write and pass legislation, interact directly with administrators, be a voice for their peers in their academic college, and help advocate to improve the student experience. Academic Senator terms are held for a year, during which Senators play a crucial role in the student Senate.
