The co-government of the UNR is made up of the Rector and the Superior Council. The Rector is elected by the University Assembly and his term is extended for four years, with only one possibility of re-election.  

The University Assembly is the higher body of the University that is constituted with all the members of the Higher Council, of the Directing Councils of the Faculties and of the Academic Councils of the Pre-University Level Establishments. It must meet at least once a year and every four years it elects the Rector. 

The Superior Council -co-governing body- is made up of the Rector, twelve deans representing the Faculties, three directors of the Pre-University Establishments, twelve counselors for the Faculty at the rate of one per Faculty, eight advisors for the Student Body, two advisors for the Graduate Body and two advisors for the Non-Teaching Body.

The Board of Directors of each Faculty is made up of the Dean, ten Teaching Advisors, eight Student Advisors, a Graduate Advisor and a Non-Teaching Advisor, who are elected by the vote of their respective peers.

The statute where the bases of the UNR are established was approved in 1998, then reformed in 2001, 2007 and 2019 and can be consulted by doing click here.
