Guidance and Information
Staff Guide to Student Academic Representation
The Staff Guide provides information and guidance on the practicalities of Student Academic Representation. It sets out in detail what is required, but also provides guidance on improving and enhancing student representation. The 2017-18 edition of the guide has been completely refreshed to provide greater practical guidance in a more concise format. The 2018-19 edition will be published in August.
Representative Data Return Sheets
These sheets are used to send your Faculty and the Students’ Union all the information they need to add student academic representatives to their records and provide support, training, and advice. These should be completed and returned to the faculty by Friday October 13 2017. If you’re not sure who your Faculty Contact is, check out our staff guide above.
