Commission Elections

Senior College Commission members are selected through a multi-step process, which is outlined in Article IV of the Commission's Bylaws.

 

Nomination Process

Nominations to the Commission are made by CEOs of WASC-accredited institutions. The nomination process begins in late autumn and concludes in early January.

 

Voting Process

In February, after all nominees have been vetted by the WASC Nominating Committee, a final slate of nominees is sent to the region for voting. As per the Bylaws, only CEOs of WASC-accredited institutions are eligible to vote in the Commission Election.
