Eligibility
The eligibility requirements of students to serve as university senators are identical to those required for membership on the Student Government Association as specified in the most current Student Government Association Bylaws.  The current eligibility requirements to serve on SGA can be found in the Student Government Association (SGA) Constitution: Article III Section C which states: To be qualified for the Senate, any enrolled student at Georgia College and State University with a grade point average of 2.30 or higher, and in good academic standing, shall be eligible to run for election or be appointed to the Senate.

Procedure (Two Selected Student Senators)
The 2008-2009 SGA President is one of the selected student senators on the University Senate for the 2008-2009 academic year, and shall appoint the other selected student senator. 

Note Regarding Procedures for Students on 2008-2009 University Senate Committees:
As specified in University Senate Bylaws, both of the selected student senators serve on the Student Affairs Policy Committee (SAPC). In addition to these two selected student senators, there are two SGA nominees for committee service: one to serve on the Resources, Planning, and Institutional Policy Committee (RPIPC) and the other to serve on SAPC. The SGA nominees for the 2008-2009 committees will be nominated by the 2008-2009 SGA President, and each must meet the eligibility requirements specified above.
