Course Reps
Have YOUR say!
YOUR group must have a Student Representative, so here are the details:
It’s a great opportunity to…
* Affect decisions made about your education - make a positive difference to your friends and your own
learning experiences
* Develop effective working relationships with teaching staff - participating in a dialogue that results in
better conditions for students
* Develop your inter-personal skills for yourself and prospective employers - eg problem solving,
communication, negotiation skills and working with others
Student Council
What’s the aim of the Student Council?
* Set Union policy - for example: what campaigns should the Union be involved in, decide upon services the
Union offers, etc
* Amend the constitution (the rules and regulations of the Union)
* Instruct and hold accountable the Executive committee on their work - make sure the Executive are working for
YOU!
* Approve financial reports, budgets and accounts from the Executive Committee - check we sent YOUR money
correctly and for the benefit of all the members of MCCSU.
* Provide us with feedback, ideas and comments for both the Union and College to consider and act upon.
