The Nominations Commission is charged with appointing students to various university committees, including within the Academic Council, Board of Trustees, Office of the President and Provost, and Student Affairs. Its members solicit and review applications, host interviews, and nominate students for legislative approval.

The Commission is comprised of at least seven members nominated by the ASSU President and confirmed by the legislative bodies. Members serve for a full academic year.

The Commission seeks to empower students through its nomination process. In particular, it strives to amplify the diverse perspectives and experiences within the student body, and it is committed to ensuring that inclusive and equitable representation is implemented across the institution.
