- Holds at least a 3.2 GPA in their graduate studies.
- Is available to attend all scheduled meetings during the upcoming academic year.

Departments may hold an internal application process to assist with the selection of representatives. Departments must submit the names of the two individuals no later than May 15 to Diana Gonzalez at dgonzal@illinois.edu. Selected students receive an email no later than May 31 about their appointment. This includes a reminder of the upcoming academic year meeting schedule and the EGSAC Consent form, which must be signed in order to allow their names to be published on the EGSAC website.
