University Committees

Applications for all-university committees will open in the fall of 2026. 

Baylor University values the perspectives of faculty, staff, and students in guiding the effective leadership and stewardship of the institution. To support this shared governance model, Baylor maintains a number of university committees made up of diverse representatives who help address campus priorities, challenges, and opportunities.

Student Government appoints student representatives to these committees. Appointed students meet regularly with faculty and staff members to provide student insight, contribute to meaningful discussions, and help shape decisions within their assigned areas of responsibility.

The Student Body President administers the student appointment process for university committees. Applications and selections typically take place from the end of the fall semester through the beginning of the spring semester.

Eligibility

This application is open to current full-time undergraduate students only.

Students may apply for appointment to more than one All‑University Committee.

Applicants must be in good standing with the University at the time of application and throughout their term of service. Students with open judicial or conduct cases are not eligible to apply. Any student appointed to a committee who is no longer in good standing is expected to recuse themselves from service immediately.

In accordance with Student Activities policy, applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00, and their most recent semester GPA must not fall below 2.33. These GPA requirements do not apply to first‑semester students; however, all appointed students must maintain the required GPA throughout their service on the committee.

Applicants must be enrolled as full-time undergraduate students (12 or more credit hours). Seniors in their final semester who are enrolled in fewer than 12 credit hours remain eligible to serve on a university committee.

You must be an enrolled, undergraduate, full-time student (see exception for rising seniors above) for the entire upcoming academic year in order to apply (August to May). December graduates are not eligible to apply.

Term and Expectations

Appointees will serve their term for the upcoming academic year, not the current academic year. 

Appointees serve a single academic year and may reapply in the future.

Committee members are expected to maintain  professionalism and confidentiality throughout their term, as restricted information may be discussed during meetings. 

Each committee's operational tempo varies. Some committees meet infrequently, while others meet more often. Applicants should make their availability known during the review process.
