Students' Association Senators
The Students' Association Senate is comprised of 23 senators serving the seven different academic colleges. If an academic college doesn't fill all of its seats, senators at-large are sworn in to fill empty seats. Additionally, an executive team is formed at the beginning of each term to serve as senate leadership, including the student body president and vice president.

Elections for Students' Association senators and the student body president and vice president are held in March. Petitions for the election generally become available in February. In order to run in the senatorial election, a student must file an application and petition including signatures from at least 50 students in their academic college (25 signatures for senatorial candidates from the Graduate School).
Information about Students' Association elections will be available in the Rabbit Report leading up to the election and on the Students' Association website.
Occasionally, senate seats will become vacant during the academic year. In these cases, seats will be filled by senators at-large appointed by the Students' Association board of directors. Senator at-large candidates must file an application and petition, including signatures from at least 50 SDSU students regardless of their academic college. When senator at-large positions are open, information will be included in the Rabbit Report and the Students' Association website.
