The College Syndicate is the body charged by the charter of the university with the good governance of the college.
University Council appoints, on the recommendation of the College Syndicate, the Principal of the college.
 Other college officers, for example the Senior Tutor and Dean, are elected directly by the Syndicate.
The syndicate elects a senior member of college to the University Senate for a three-year term and two members to the University Court for three years, once re-newable.
Unusually for a Lancaster college, no members of the JCR are co-opted to the syndicate.

The Furness College Council is responsible for the day-to-day running of the college.
It comprises the Principal and Vice-Principal; ten officers of the Senior Common Room who manage the tutorial system, the deanery, the residences, social life and the college office; and fifteen members of the JCR who manage undergraduate affairs.
The council meets once each academic term.
