It represents and advocates for rights of all the students at UWC, and their overall interest and social well-being, on University committees. It is highly involved in policy-making and co-operative decision-making at UWC.

The SRC is elected annually by the student body and consists of 12 members who represent other student organisations and individual students. The duties, functions, privileges and term of office are set out in the SRC Constitution as well as the election by-laws approved by the University Council as institutional rules.

The SRC is a very important stakeholder within the UWC community, as there is no decision that can be taken without student input. The notion of co-operative governance is embraced by the institution through these processes.
