Student representatives hold seats on a number of University Committees which play decision-making or advisory roles in the formulation of policies and management matters. There are three major types of committees which include students as members:

1. The University Senate which is the supreme academic body of the University
2. Committees of the Senate, including:
   • Committee on Undergraduate Studies
   • Committee on Postgraduate Studies
   • Committee on Teaching and Learning Quality
   • Committee on Student Affairs
   • Student Disciplinary Committee 

To fulfill the role of committee members, student representatives are encouraged to consult their fellow students for opinion and be prepared to exercise their best judgment in representing the interests of the student body. The student representatives are nominated by the University, their home schools, or by the relevant student bodies.
