Student Governance

Undergraduate Student Governance. The primary vehicle by which undergraduate students are involved in institutional governance is the Student Government Association. By the process of largely autonomous self-governance, students determine to a very significant degree the focus, scope, and direction of most of the extra-class and co-curricular activities occurring on campus. In addition, they represent the student body on a host of official and ad hoc committees at the institution.

Graduate Student Governance. The Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) was chartered in 1986 and serves as the official organization for UNC Charlotte graduate students, all of whom are automatically members. Its purposes include (a) establishment of an appropriate voice for graduate students; (b) assistance with their special social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs; and (c) liaison with the administration and faculty.
