If elected, members serve two (2) year terms of office, to begin on July 1st of the year elected. The Senate typically meets once a month on Thursday afternoons (usually the third or fourth Thursday of the month) at 12:30pm, and if a member is absent without proper excuse from two or more regular meetings in any one semester, that member may be ejected and replaced. Members thus need to work with their school directors/department heads to avoid class conflicts before students register for classes, as well as other scheduling incompatibilities. Members should also report important news to their colleagues.

You must already be on the Faculty Senate. Then officers are elected at the first regular Faculty Senate meeting of the academic year.
