Student Council
Bilkent University holds student elections every two years, and each department elects one of the nominated students as a student representative and sends them as a representative to the Student Council. The students who are elected as representatives then elect a council president, vice presidents, and a general secretary from among themselves. The Student Council is responsible for overseeing the activities of more than 100 student clubs, organizing festivals, and reporting any deficiencies to the university's authorized units. Additionally, the Student Council represents the students in the University Senate.
