Senate of College Councils

Welcome

Since 1973, the Senate has served as the official voice for students in academic affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. As one of three student legislative organizations at the University, Senate works to represent the needs, concerns and opinions of students through the 20 College Councils. The Senate of College Councils is jointly sponsored by the University’s Provost and Vice President for Student Affairs.
