In the case of the statutory colleges, representatives must be statutory college students elected in accordance with procedures promulgated by the campus' student government body.

(c) In cases where multiple student governments exist, the first representative shall be elected from among the student government presidents according to a campus election procedure adopted by written agreement of the campus student governments; in the absence of such an election, the president of the student government representing the greatest number of FTE students will be the first campus representative to the student assembly.

(d) Each member institution shall designate the officers next in line of succession to the student government president. Each designee may serve as an alternate for any representative of the member institution who is not able to attend a student assembly meeting.
