Student Rep 101
WHAT?
Student Reps are your link to feeding back on your Student Experience to the University. Every course at every level should have at least one Student Rep. If you have an issue specifically about your course or the University in general you can take it to your Student Rep and they will be able to help. They are also the ones the University asks when they want student opinion so it’s important to tell them what you think. If you don’t know who your rep is, contact us at the email address below.
WHO?
