Most student organizations at SUU are officially recognized and provided with assistance by the SUU Student Association (SUUSA). SUUSA is the leading student organization and provides activities throughout the school year for students. Activities range from comedians, concerts, carnivals, outdoor movies and dances. SUUSA is governed by four executive council members, elected each March, along with one representative per college in the Student Senate, by the general student body. Event Directors, members of the President's Cabinet, and Club Directors are appointed by the Executive Council through an application and interview process. They are then investigated and ratified by the Academic Senate. Students can apply for funding from the Academic Senate for academic initiatives or travel expenses for conferences.
