The Student Government Association (SGA), as part of the greater academic community, is the representative voice of the student body. It is the deliberate and consultative body vested with the power to advocate for students at all University levels, including, but not limited to the Board of Trustees, the President of the University, the Chancellor, Faculty Senate, and the administrative offices of the University, and the general public. SGA is responsible for allocating over $500,000 of student fees to benefit the Chapman student body. Finance Assistants review, process, and record SGA financial transactions and communicate processes, decisions, and policies accordingly. This is a non-elected, paid position.
