Recruiting Course Reps
Course Reps 2021-22 – Recruitment Process Outline
Timescales
Course Leaders and the Students’ Union share responsibility for recruiting Course Reps. We try to recruit all Course Reps within the first 3 weeks of the start of the course, in any given academic year.
Students who are interested in being a Course Rep can visit the Students’ Union website to register their interest and receive further information. A list of Reps is collated by the Students’ Union and shared with the University. For courses which start in September, we aim to recruit our Course Reps by mid-October. A second Course Rep recruitment phase takes place for courses which begin in January.
Help in recruiting Course Reps
You can refer students to the Students’ Union promotional video for a general introduction to the role of Course Reps.
You can use these slides to promote the role of Course Reps in an induction session or teaching session:

Following recruitment
Once Course Reps have been recruited you might like to get in touch with the Reps to introduce yourself and talk about how you can work together during the year. If you are a Course Leader, you will be a key point of contact for Course Reps so it is important that they know how to contact you and feel comfortable in doing so.
Record the names of your Course Reps on SITS
The template below contains the agreed columns that must be used for the inputting of Course Rep details into the University’s Student Management System.
The Stu CRS Join code must be correct (many students have been enrolled on more than one course so the number needs to reflect the course that they are representing).
| Student code | Stu Crs Join code | Ac. Year code | Milestone | Milestone Date |
| e.g. 22015261 | e.g. 22015261/1 | 2017/18 |
