All Course Reps must attend an introductory session held by the Student’s Union. The session will go through your duties as a Course Rep and will prepare you for dealing with students, SSC meetings and common issues you may come across. It is vital for all Course Reps to attend an introductory session – Even if you have been a Rep before! It is a good way for you to meet other Course Reps, get an introduction to what we are doing this year with Course Representation and to meet the new VP Education and Education Co-ordinator. All Course Reps will be provided with a handbook and wristband.
When training sessions are being offered, ALL Course Representatives will be informed via the regular Course Rep newsletter. Notices will also be posted on the Education Hub notice board. Please contact us if you need more details or want to request training.
