January Recruitment
Thank you again for continuing with Rep recruitment. You will find a list of actions and deadlines for the full academic year in the table below. If your programme's start date is in January, or another time of the year, please do still promote the opportunity for students to become Course Reps with your cohort. Here are some more details regarding January recruitment:
- A rough deadline for registering January Reps, and the registration link can be found below in the table above.
- If any vacant Course Rep positions from September have now been filled, please also register these students.
- A range of recruitment materials can be found at the bottom of this page
- Please note that School Rep recruitment (more senior Reps who are responsible for subject groups) has now closed for the 2023/24 academic year. The next round of recruitment for the 2024/25 academic year will begin in the spring.
- Once Course Reps are registered with the Students' Union they will be contacted over email and given access to a recorded version of the training. Registered Reps are contacted periodically, so it might take up to 5 working days for them to gain access to the training.
- The registration form will remain open throughout the year for non-Sep start dates.
Resources
For both Course Rep and School Rep recruitment, there are a variety of resources available. Below you will find a set of standardised PowerPoint slides that specify the Rep vacancies within your school. Notes are included on each slide so you can use them for live recruitment in lectures, or as a stand-alone resource on Blackboard.
