- Assignation is the appointment of a brother to a province or to a specific convent with all rights and obligations unless it is clearly stated otherwise.
- Assignation is either direct (simply made), or indirect by reason of office or of studies.
- Assignation outside one’s own province for the purpose of study does not entitle one to a vote in elections.
- Assignation by reason of office applies only to superiors; that made by reason of study applies only to students outside their province.
- Every brother needs a direct assignation to a specific convent from the time of first profession, which assignation of itself has no time limit. An indirect assignation lasts only for as long as the office.
