Unlike the SAG, which only acts in an advisory capacity, the SC can make officially binding decisions. The SC has the sole and final decision-making authority for decisions on the use of the School's decentralised tuition fees. This means that the SC can make the sole and final decision on the use of these funds. In other areas, however, the SC is not the final decision-making authority, but can only make recommendations. In these cases, the approval of the School's highest body, the Faculty Council, is also required. This applies, for example, to changes to examination regulations. For some formalities, the approval of cross-faculty committees may also be necessary.
