University governance is conducted through the Board of Governors and the Senate, both of which were given much of their present power in the Unofficial Consolidation of an Act for the Regulation and Support of Dalhousie College in Chapter 24 of the Acts of 1863. This statute replaced ones from 1820, 1823, 1838, 1841 and 1848, and has since been supplemented 11 times, most recently in 1995.<ref name=dalsta /> The Board is responsible for conduct, management, and control of the university and of its property, revenues, business, and affairs. Board members, known as Governors of the Board, include the university's chancellor, president, and 25 other members. Members include people from within the university community such as four approved representatives from Dalhousie Student Union, and those in the surrounding community, such as the [[Mayor of Halifax]].<ref name=dalsta /> The Senate is responsible for the university's academics, including standards for admission and qualifications for degrees, diplomas, and certificates.<ref name=dalsta /> The Senate consists of 73 positions granted to the various faculty representatives, academic administrators, and student representatives.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://senate.dal.ca/Membership/Senators.php|title=2011 – 2012 Membership Senators|publisher=Dalhousie University|date=13 July 2011|access-date=16 July 2011|archive-date=27 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327182143/http://senate.dal.ca/Membership/Senators.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Affiliated institutions===

[[University of King's College]] is a post-secondary institution in Halifax affiliated with Dalhousie. The institution's campus is located adjacent to Dalhousie's Studley campus. Established in 1789, it was the first post-secondary institution in [[English Canada]] and the oldest English-speaking Commonwealth university outside the United Kingdom.<ref name=kinhi/> The University of King's College was formerly an independent institution located in [[Windsor, Nova Scotia]], until 1920, when a fire ravaged its campus. To continue operation, the University of King's College accepted a generous grant from the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York|Carnegie Foundation]], although the terms of the grant required that it move to Halifax and enter into association with Dalhousie.<ref name=kinhi /> Under the agreement, King's agreed to pay the salaries of a number of Dalhousie professors, who in turn were to help in the management and academic life of the college.

Students at King's have access to all of the amenities at Dalhousie, and academic programs at King's would fold into the College of Arts and Sciences at Dalhousie according to the agreement.<ref name=kinhi /> Presently, students of both institutions are allowed to switch between the two throughout their enrolment. In spite of the shared academic programs and facilities, the University of King's College maintains its own scholarships, bursaries, athletics programs, and student residences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukings.ca/kings-dalhousie|title=King's and Dalhousie – University of King's College|publisher=University of King's College|year=2013|access-date=11 May 2013|archive-date=10 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110005632/http://www.ukings.ca/kings-dalhousie|url-status=live}}</ref>
