Student representation - your role
As a student, your opinions are valued by the University and DUSA and you have a vital role to play in assuring academic standards and the quality of your learning experience by recognising your responsibility as a learner, engaging with your programme of study and providing constructive feedback on teaching quality at the end of a module. You can choose to play a more formal role in this process by becoming a student representative.
Student Representatives: School Presidents and Class Representatives
Every school has an elected school president. This is a selection of their responsibilities: • l iaise regularly with the DUSA Deputy President who has the lead role in the DUSA Executive on representation issues
• communicate regularly with class reps and students within their School • help organise meetings of class reps in their School to allow for information to be gathered
• work with the relevant School Secretary to keep up to date with what is currently happening at school level
• ensure that any problems or issues that cannot be resolved promptly at the School level are brought to the attention of DUSA Student Representative Council, DUSA Executive and the relevant school board
• liaise with the University’s Director of Quality of Assurance
School presidents are members of DUSA’s Student Representative Council (SRC). The Council meets regularly during each semester. Visit
www.dusa.co.uk and

Class/module representatives are also elected by fellow students. These representatives have an important role to play in enabling communication between the student body, the School President, the academic staff and DUSA. The School and DUSA provide training and support to class representatives.
Being a student rep brings lots of benefits. By giving up a small amount of their time, reps can help their fellow students and the University and will also expand their CV and circle of friends.
Representation in residences The representatives, committees and presidents in residences represent your collective voice with different sections of the University and Sanctuary Management (the company that provides management, cleaning and repairs for the residences). In addition, throughout the academic year, Residence Committees organise events for residents of University accommodation. Visit
www.dundee.ac.uk/studentsupport/supportworker for more information.
