Regents of the University of California - Definition and Overview

The Regents of the University of California make up the governing board of the University of California. The Board has 26 full (i.e., voting) members:

• The majority (18 Regents) are appointed by the Governor of California for 12-year terms.
• One Student Regent is appointed by the Board for a one-year term.
• The remaining 7 Regents are ex-officio members. They are the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the Assembly, Superintendent of Public Instruction, president and vice president of the Alumni Associations of UC, and the UC president.

The Board also has two faculty non-voting members. By custom, the incoming Student Regent serves as a non-voting Regent-designate from the date of appointment (usually in September) until beginning his or her formal term the following July 1.
