The voice of the students
The Student Government Association is the representative body of SFA students and is made up of and administered entirely by students. Its purposes are to serve as the voice of the SFA student body and as a model government (executive, legislative and judicial branches) while fostering leadership development.

Student Government Branches
Executive Branch
The Executive Branch comprises the student body president and vice president. The president signs or vetoes Senate bills and resolutions. These executives advocate on behalf of students to the university administration and attend quarterly University of Texas System Student Advisory Council meetings in Austin.
Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch comprises the SGA Senate and facilitates the writing and passage of campus-wide initiatives in the form of resolutions and bills. Senators are elected by their peers to represent their respective academic colleges and classifications.
Judicial Branch
The Supreme Court presiding over the Student Traffic Court and Conduct Board constitutes the Judicial Branch of SGA. It also serves as the presiding body for interpreting the SGA Constitution in cases of alleged organizational violations. The Supreme Court often also rules in student conduct cases not associated with SGA.
