{{main|University of Galway Students' Union}}
The Students' Union's primary role is to provide a recognised representative channel between undergraduates and the university and college authorities.

In February 2009, the university announced the Students' Union-run [[Rag (student society)|RAG Week]] would "no longer form part of the university calendar". The President of the Students' Union expressed the belief that the decision was unjustified, citing the more than €20,000 raised for charities that year.<ref>{{cite news|first=Lorna|last=Siggins|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0226/1224241834542.html|title=NUIG withdraws its support for rag week because of 'unruly behaviour'|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=26 February 2009|access-date=26 February 2009}}</ref> RAG Week continued unofficially until 2024, when the fundraising event returned with support from the Students' Union.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Malone |first=Michael |date=2024-01-18 |title=University of Galway SU launches RAG Week as charity week returns to its roots |url=https://www.galwaydaily.com/news/university-of-galway-su-launches-rag-week-as-charity-week-returns-to-its-roots/ |access-date=2024-02-10 |website=Galway Daily |language=en-US}}</ref>
