All currently enrolled full-time students are members of the Associated Student Body and may participate in the election of representatives to its chief governing board, the Associated Student Government.

The responsibilities of Student Government are:

• To serve as the organized student voice to faculty and administration regarding student needs and opinions in matters of student life and welfare.
