The Student Body Government (SBG) is the major organization through which the students govern themselves, plan activities for the campus, and work with the faculty and administration on matters of general interest to the student body. Full-time students automatically become members of the SBG when they enroll at the University. SBG's executive officers are chosen annually in a campus-wide election. The SBG has an executive, a legislative, and a judicial branch.

Through SBG's efforts, students serve as active members with full voting privileges on several faculty committees.
