What is AGS?

Upcoming AGS Events

AGS is an unincorporated association of the state of California, and the recognized graduate student government association at the University of California, Irvine. The AGS is governed by a President, five Vice Presidents elected by the Council, and a Council of representatives elected by each academic unit. AGS collects $9 per quarter from each graduate student who are not represented by subordinate Graduate Student Governments.

Students who are represented by the Associated Medical Student Government, the Student Bar Association, and the Merage Student Association elect representatives to AGS and remit $4.50 per student to AGS.

AGS Structure

The Associated Graduate Students have four subgroups that work to support UCI’s graduate student body.

  • AGS Council – An elected body of graduate representatives from each school that debate and approve organizational initiatives and long-term goals. Council Members are elected by each academic unit to represent the students of that academic unit.
  • Executive Cabinet – Elected leadership of AGS who oversee its day-to-day operation

  • Committees – Internal AGS groups composed of a member of the Executive Cabinet, Council Members, as well as staff working in a single domain to improve the lives of graduate and professional students

  • Staff – Students hired on a part-time basis to assist with day-to-day operations and committee functions
