The IUP Student Government Association is the official representative body of IUP students and works to promote and enrich the welfare of all IUP students.
All members of the IUP community are welcome and invited to attend the SGA General Assembly meetings every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Jane E. Leonard Hall, Room 126. Additional meeting information can be found under the event section of the Student Government Association Lounge.
Undergraduate students who would like to join Student Government must be elected by the SGA General Assembly. In order to be eligible for election, students are required to attend two General Assembly meetings and complete the new senator application.
For more information on how SGA works, check out our governing documents: IUP Student Government Association Constitution and Bylaws.
It is the responsibility of Student Government to recognize student organizations. At IUP, all student organizations must have university recognition to reserve space on campus for events, receive a budget from the IUP Student Cooperative Association, and be affiliated with the university.
The Office of Student Leadership and the Student Government Association work together to administer this recognition process. Information about starting a new organization and an outline of the steps to get university recognition can be found on the student organization web page. For help starting the process, contact SGA Chief Justice Nneoma Uchendu at mlnfc@iup.edu.
Starting with the fall 2026 semester, IUP implemented Lounge as its student engagement platform. Lounge, a more mobile-friendly platform than the previously used Crimson Connect, is for students, clubs and organizations, and campus departments to promote their events.
