Abstract	E-participation has become increasingly popular in many fields due to the widespread usage of the Internet. As an effective approach to e-democracy, e-participation provides more opportunities for college students to access university governance and facilitates democratic administration in higher education institutions. This study explores student e-participation in university governance in one university of China based on the social interaction model. The evaluation framework of student e-participation consists of three basic components: student engagement, interactions between students and the university, and university support. A mixed-method research was conducted to assess the current status of student e-participation in this university. The results show that the overall level of student e-participation, from the perspective of students, is low. We also analyzed some influential factors of students' engagement in e-participation. It is suggested that universities should actively respond to and provide support for student e-participation in university governance to improve the quality of administration and the relations between students and the university.
