About UB’s Student Government

The University of Belize Student Governments (SGs) are comprised of undergraduate students elected to represent their peers across UB's four campuses. As the official voice of the undergraduate student body, SGs work closely with the Office of Student Affairs and collaborate on initiatives like the annual Relathon, La Ruta Maya, and Fun Day. They play an active role in enhancing campus life and addressing key student concerns. Each SG also undertakes a "Legacy Project" during its term, leaving a lasting contribution to the university. Student governments serve two-year terms, with annual elections held to fill any vacancies. Full-time students with a minimum GPA of 2.75 and in good standing are eligible to run for office.
