The responsibility of the Senate is to advocate for and represent the ASUH constituency (all full-time, classified undergraduates). The voice of the ASUH can be formally represented in the form of a Resolution. The Senate welcomes any inquiries, comments or testimony regarding any idea or concern. Reach out to a Senate member to introduce a Senate Resolution.

The Senate can help fund university events, programs, services, and support through Senate Act funding. To request for Senate Act funding, contact an ASUH Senate member to draft a Senate Bill (a funding proposal). If approved, the bill will be codified into a Senate Act - a document that formally approves of said needed funding. ​

In addition to the ASUH Constitution and Bylaws, the ASUH is guided by Senate Rules in order to maintain the operations and organization of the ASUH Senate. ASUH senate members have the ability to introduce changes or additions to the Senate Rules, provided that the Senate approves of the rules with a two-thirds vote of approval.​
