- Senators, preferably at least one from each College
- one faculty representative from the Graduate Council chosen annually by that body

Once the Council membership is established, if there is no representation from a particular College, the Dean of the
affected College shall be requested to provide a member. If a Dean does not meet this expectation within 10 working days of the request,
such vacancy will be filled by the Senate Leadership. The Chair of the APRC must be a Senator and will be appointed by Senate
Leadership. The Chair will serve a one-year term and shall be eligible for additional terms.
