The chair-elect of Faculty Senate appoints five senators to the EPC, with regard for representation by curricular units of the university.

One elected member of each college curriculum body is elected by these bodies to membership.

The chair-elect of the Faculty Senate also appoints additional full-time tenure-track faculty to membership, with regard for representation by curricular units of the university as needed so that the faculty membership equals the "ex officio" membership.

One undergraduate student appointed by the Undergraduate Student Senate and one graduate student appointed by the Graduate Student Senate serve as observers with rights of participation, but without a vote.
