The CPq's composition is determined by IAG's Regulations (Capítulo VII, Artigo 26), and its role is regulated by Resolução CoPq nº 7863 (Artigo 3º). IAG's CPq is made up of its President and Vice-Presidente (elected at IAG's Academic Board), by two faculty representatives for each Department (nominated by the Department and ratified by IAG's Academic Board) and by a student representative (elected by undergraduate and graduate students at IAG).
