=== Governance ===
A member of the Royal Family, usually the head of the Royal Foundation, is the Patron of the University. This position is currently occupied by [[Lady Aroha]], Serene Consort of Polynesia. The University is constituted in terms of the ''Statute of the University of Tokapa'' issued in terms of the ''Tertiary Education Law''. The university is a public non-profit organization whose highest authority is the Governing Council. The Governing Council consists of representatives of students, faculty, staff, the community and state and is accountable to Minister of Education and in turn the government for the work of the university. Nevertheless, the university has the independence to conduct its work without the interference of the state. The Governing Council in turn appoints the President, currently Dr Maati Rangi, who is the executive head of the university. The President controls and directs the daily running of the university and proposes policies for adoption by the Governing Council.
 
The Student Council is the head of the Students Union. It represents their interests and it must be consulted by the President and the Governing Council before matters which will affect the student body are adopted. Using funds levied from student membership fees, the Student Council administers programs to provide for the welfare of the student body. Former students comprise the Alumni Association which, despite not having formal powers, helps to cement the university’s relationship with former students and which has symbolic powers to pass non-binding recommendations for the university
