Your Union – Have Your Say
The University of Chichester Students’ Union is ‘YOUR UNION’!
The SU is run by students for students and as a member of the Students’ Union you have the right to say what it should be doing and who should be running it.
Union Officers
Every year the Union elects a new team of Officers who are chosen by you. These people are responsible for running the Union for a year. If you are not happy with what they are doing then you can tell them, if you want them to be making a difference that will help you then why not ask them to help. At the end of the day the Officer’s work for the members of the Students’ Union and the members are all the registered students at the University of Chichester.
Referenda
Students have the ability to call a referendum. For more information see the ‘Referenda’ Tab.
Annual General Meeting
The Union hosts an Annual General Meeting (AGM) every year which provides you with the opportunity to have your say on what the Union has been doing over the previous year and its plans for the next one. You are also allowed to submit a motion to the AGM and the student body can then vote on it.
For more information on how you can have your say on what the Union is up to contact the President on supresident@chi.ac.uk.
