The Student Government Association (SGA) exists primarily for governing and providing entertainment for the student body. As a prerequisite for executive council, committee chairs, and senators, students must have a GPA of 2.0. Overall, SGA serves as a connection between the students and the faculty and administration. All students, by virtue of their undergraduate registration and payment of fees, are member of the Student Government Association. The Student Senate is the central representative and legislative organization of the Westminster College Student Government Association. Representatives are elected from each class. The Student Senate allocates part of the budget to student organizations and carries out other responsibilities as outlined in the Student Government Association Constitution. The Student Senators, through the various committees and in cooperation with the student affairs staff, plan student programs. Westminster students participate in College governance by serving on a variety of standing College committees, councils and boards of the faculty. Student representatives to these bodies are elected by the student body and appointed by the Student Senate. The senate also nominates three student associate trustees to the College's Board of Trustrees.
