Legislative Branch

Legislative Council Banner



As the representative body for over 37,000 students at CU Boulder, CU Student Government's Legislative Council plays a critical role in shaping the policies and decisions that directly impact your student experience. From drafting important legislation to approving and allocating the $35 million+ collected annually in student fees, the Legislative Council ensures that student voices are heard and reflected in campus policies and initiatives.

Nine representatives-at-large sit on Representative Council, with five being elected during the fall elections and four being elected during the spring elections. The Council of Colleges and Schools consists of eighteen school senators who are appointed or elected by their individual colleges; each CU Boulder local school is represented by two school senators.

We encourage you to stay informed and get involved! You can:

  • Contact your representatives listed below to share your concerns, ideas, or questions.
  • Review current legislation being introduced on our 104rd Session CUSG Legislation Tracker, so you can stay up to date on the issues that matter most to you.
  • Explore past legislation in the CUSG Legislative Index to see how previous decisions have shaped our campus.
  • Share your voice! Sign-up to speak at public open hearing and join us Thursdays at 7PM in UMC 247
