Student Government Association’s Fall Election is now open for sign-up.
The SGA is a forum for student opinion at UT Tyler, according to the UT website. The association elects officers and representatives annually. Those elected will help represent and advocate for students’ needs, interests and programs to the university.
In a recent email, the SGA sent a link to a sign-up form for those interested in running. The final chance to register is Sept. 5, 2025.
Voting will begin on Sept. 6 at 11:59 p.m. and end on Sept. 11 at 11:59 p.m. The open seats are divided by college, grade classification, distance campus, and housing.
Those running for a position must have a candidacy meeting with SGA Advisor Josh Neaves. Students can only start canvassing by posting on social media, hanging flyers, and speaking to potential voters after the meeting.
