There are three advisors, one from each academic division and one from the professional staff. Budgetary Advisors report to the Executive Committee regularly and submit a formal report to the Senate at least once per annum. They serve as the Senate's liaison to the administration on budgetary matters.

Standing Committees. There are three standing committees dedicated toward policy development. The chair of each standing committee will receive course/load release. Standing committees appoint ad hoc subcommittees, as working committees on an as needed basis. The three standing committees are: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Faculty & Professional Committee.

Academic Affairs - The Academic Affairs committee is responsible for policy development and oversight of all academic matters on campus such as curricula, and establishment and scrutiny of procedures for course and program changes.
