► Course Reps
If your course has a problem how can you fix it?Every year of every course needs at least one Course Rep to ensure your course voice is heard. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to get involved with.
This summer we have been working with University staff to develop the rep system further.
This coming year will see changes to the course rep structure ensuring that the union is up to date with the issues being raised at your rep meetings whilst also allowing SU reps and senior staff the time to feedback how we are working to resolve the issues that you raise.
So you how can I become a Course Rep?
It’s easy. In the first few weeks of semester one your lecturers will look for individuals interested in becoming a rep to come forward and nominate themselves. This process will be followed by an election where your classmates will make the final decision on the individuals who they want to represent them.
