Renison University College encourages and values student participation in the governing bodies of Renison, which seek to maintain academic excellence and a supportive environment.
Resident and non-resident students have the opportunity to present and discuss ideas and concerns and to participate in decisions which will affect their university experience. Renison offers three student leadership committees for students to get involved with:
- RASC: Renison Academic Student Committee for undergraduate degree students
- Renisix: Renison Residence Student Committee for students living in Renison Residence
- ELI Student Leadership Team for students studying in English Language Institute programs
Both Renisix and RASC student representatives are also represented on the College Council and the Board of Governors of Renison University College.
