Elections

Candidate Eligibility

All students wishing to participate in leadership roles must be in GOOD academic standing verified by Academic Affairs and outlined in the Student Handbook.

To verify candidate eligibility, Student Life requests all students to complete the following form with the Office of Academic Affairs. This must be completed prior to nominating yourself for any open position. Academic Affairs may request that students reach out to Academic Enrichment Specialists (AES) to discuss future involvement prior to receiving their approval.

Complete the Eligibility Form and SGA will submit on your behalf. Please allow 2 weeks to hear back and return the form.
AA will either send notice of decision or the signed form back to the student.
Upload AA SIGNED forms to the Airtable Form linked below.
Good to go! If your name appears on the dashboard, you can run for open positions. Please do not send your forms as proof.

IF YOUR ACADEMIC STATUS CHANGES, PLEASE NOTIFY STUDENT LIFE AND SGA EXEC PRESIDENT ASAP.
