- USM Student Council
The University System of Maryland Student Council (USMSC) is one of four councils established during the restructuring of higher education in Maryland in 1988.
USMSC advises the Chancellor, Board of Regents, and elected officials and represents 172,000+ students in the University System of Maryland's 12 institutions and three regional higher education centers. The USM Student Council represents the nearly 180,000 students in the University System of MD to the Chancellor, Board of Regents, and elected officials. Created to assist the Chancellor, the USMSC
derives its authority from the Board of Regents. Each degree-granting institution in the USM has two representatives on the USMSC. The USMSC meets monthly throughout the school year and functions as a network for sharing ideas and concerns of general interest to students. The Council transmits to the Chancellor its majority and minority views on behalf of its constituent student bodies. Thus helping to ensure that the USM leadership is aware of students' perspectives and responsive to students' concerns and issues. The primary function of the USMSC is to advise the Chancellor, Board of Regents, and elected officials on issues, matters, and policies having a direct bearing on students and student affairs of the USM as a whole. Among the specific responsibilities of the USMSC is the recommendation to the Chancellor each year, for transmittal to the Governor, of a group of nominees for the position of USM Student Regent. The Council has, in the past, provided input on issues ranging from tuition policy to SAT score reporting and academic advising. In keeping with its proactive nature, the Council will propose new policies and policy changes to both the Chancellor and the Board of Regents, as well as review other proposed plans.

One of the main purposes of USMSC is to advocate and provide testimony for legislation that directly impacts USM students! Over the following days we will be highlighting our past votes and future projects (so do follow our posts to stay updated!😃)
We support the Student Fees Bill that will be heard at the Maryland General Assembly on 3/16 at 1:30pm EST because the proposed legislation if enacted will mandate that student committees have a say in any proposed university fee changes! Transparency in student fees has been an issue that many USM students have been advocating for many years.
