The University recognizes the students as the main reason for its continued existence. The University mission cannot be realized without adequate support from and co-operation with the student body. The University, therefore, attaches the necessary importance to the development of the student’s guild/body and Public Relation activities to build confidence among the prospective students and their sponsors.

Nile University has the Student Guild Government. This is a students’ government elected annually by secret ballot by the entire students’ body. It is headed by a Guild President who after election, appoints a cabinet. The Guild President is responsible to the Guild Representative Council which is the legislative body of the Guild.

This Guild Government of the Students has representatives in all the Committees of the University Council this makes it possible for the student body to take part at all levels in the  decision and policy making in the University. This is to incorporate students in the running of the affairs of the University and in a special way to be concerned with things that affect them.
