UCLA student government

There are two UCLA student governments and a number of other student government organizations representing different groups of students at UCLA. UCLA’s student governments are the Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) and the Graduate Students Association (GSA). USAC and GSA are two of the four pillars of Associated Students UCLA, the others being Student Media and Student-Run Enterprises.
