ASUCI has executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and is also a member of the United States Student Association. In 2014, ASUCI withdrew from the University of California Student Association.

The Associated Graduate Students (AGS) represents graduate students.
Other committees, such as the Student Fee Advisory Committee, provide for shared governance in certain areas of university administration, Many of these, such as the Student Center Board of Advisors, the Bren Events Center Advisory Board, and the Anteater Recreation Center Advisory Board were created to oversee campus entities funded by student-initiated referenda fees,
