Senate

The SGA Senate consists of 25 senators: 17 Senators-at-Large representing 1,000 students each, as well as 8 collegiate senators representing the 8 colleges of UTEP. The Senate passes bills and allocates funds to students and/or student organizations for University related projects, events, or travels. Senators also begin initiatives called “Special Projects” to solve the issues that students have been experiencing on campus. Legislative tasks are also divided among a large number of committees, which represent the issues affecting student body.

Aside from Special Projects, all Senators must take an active role in the Ad-Hoc and Standing Committees established through SGA: Appropriations, Student Application Review Committee (SARC), Document Review Committee (DRC), EXCEL, Outreach, and Sustainability.
