The NUS Scotland President, VP (Education), VP (Community), two Priority, Education and Community Campaign Conveners, the Mature Students' Officer and Postgraduate Students' Officer are elected each year at NUS Scotland Conference, which is usually held in March, by representatives from member students’ associations. All elected officers hold the post from 1 July to 30 June.
Liberation Officers (Women's Officer, Black Students' Officer, LGBT Students' Officer, Disabled Students' Officer) are each elected at their own conferences, held between the NUS Scotland Conference and the end of June.
Elected officers can hold each post for a maximum of two years.
