French term or phrase: conseil des études et de la vie universitaire
le conseil des études et de la vie universitaire facilite l'entrée des étudiants dans la vie active, améliore leur condition de vie sur le campus (I thought about academic and university affairs committee?)
c�dric
Student Life Committee
Explanation:
Commonly used in the US - the "studies" part is unnecessary.

Your suggestion exists but the committee is in charge of different things - external and academic affairs rather than students.

university academic affairs committee


Explanation:
je pense que c'est mieux de mettre le terme "university" devant les autres mots car il caractérise le committee même si dans l'expression à traduire "universitaire" carctérise seulement "la vie".

studies and welfare council


Explanation:
this does not appear precisely like this on Google, but is a fair guess I think. Academic council is a higher-level body.
