What do student reps do?
Reps ensure that student concerns, views and opinions are heard and acted upon by the University and the Students Union. By consulting students about their teaching and learning experience and taking these views to the University, reps ensure that good things get emulated in other courses/departments/schools and the bad things get changed. Essentially this means that reps:
- find out if students in their department year / School have any concerns or issues relating to their course or student experience at Sussex;
- relay these issues to the University’s academic departments, senior management, and Students’ Union and make suggestions for change;
- relay the outcome of any meetings with the University or Students Union back to the students they represent.
By doing this, reps play a key part in reviewing and improving the student experience at Sussex.
All Student reps in the School attend the termly School Student Experience Group (SSEG) meeting, a forum for the student reps to discuss items, issues arising from their constituents and any other items of concern about the University as well. These meetings are minuted and these are available for all students to view (see the Student Rep Meeting Minutes page).
School reps also will make sure to liaise with students outside of SSEG meetings to ensure that issues are dealt with in a timely manner at the above committee and others which they attend, and that information, responses to queries and relevant decisions are fed back their constituents after the committees have met.
