The Senate is responsible for allocating the SA budget and approving budgetary changes. The Senate also may enact resolutions concerning issues of importance to the undergraduate student body. 

The Senate is comprised of 23 members. Eleven Senators are members by virtue of their offices in SA, (3 E-board members, 7 coordinators elected by their respective councils, and the Student Affairs Director). The remaining 12 Senators are elected by undergraduate students during the beginning of the fall semester.

The Executive Committee may enact resolutions, approve budgetary changes (including line transfers), and approve and amend policies, when (i) it is outside of the UB Fall and Spring Semester, or (ii) a situation exists which requires Senate action or approval, and the Senate is unable to meet or the delay of such action or approval would lead to a loss, diminution in value, or loss of opportunity, financial or otherwise, for the Student Association. The Executive Committee is also subject to additional conditions listed in the Student Association By-Laws.
