About Student Government (SG)

What Is SGA?

The Student Government Association (SGA) is UHCL's student government body and official student representative organization. It includes representatives from all registered student organizations, the Executive Council, and the Senate. SG's three primary purposes are to:

• Advocate for and speak on behalf of the student body at large.
• Provide input to university administration on student and organizational issues.
• Elect/appoint students to university committees.

Mission

The mission of the Student Government Association is to join the University in efforts to create a climate that fosters academic excellence as well as professional development. 

Vision

Our vision is to foster a vibrant and inclusive student government at the University of Houston Clear Lake (UHCL), where students are empowered to shape their university experience and become catalysts for positive change. We envision a student government that embraces diversity, cultivates leadership, and advocates for the needs and aspirations of all UHCL students. By fostering a sense of unity, collaboration, and engagement, we aim to build a stronger future for our campus community, one that embodies the spirit of a UHCL Hawk and reflects the collective voice and aspirations of UHCL students. 

SGA Executive Council

Elected by a majority vote, four officers comprise the SG Executive Council (EC) for a one-year term of office.

Senators

The SG Senate is composed of elected or appointed students, representing UHCL's academic colleges, student organizations, and general student body. College Senators represent the academic college of their degree program, and At-Large Senators represent the entire student body. The Senate considers SG legislation and focuses on campus and academic areas for improvement that would benefit students. Please email sga@uhcl.edu for more information. 

Shared Governance

UHCL's Shared Governance provides a collaborative avenue through which the constituent groups (students, faculty, and staff) monitor and advise the university's president on matters of policy and procedures.
