Voice

UUSU is the officially recognised voice of students at UU and Student Voice sits firmly at the core of our organisation. It provides support and structure around our democratic processes, governance responsibilities and across each representation group, keeping members are at the heart of everything we do. Led by the VP Education the team of staff, officers and volunteers make sure the collective opinion is heard across the University and wherever else it matters.

Elections We have an embedded democratic election cycle in place with nominations and voting open to all members of UUSU. These include election of Course Reps & Student Council in semester one with Student Officers, Faculty & School/Dept Reps elected in semester two. On a broader level we also facilitate a delegate election in semester two to support attendance at each of the three National Conferences – NUS; USI; NUS/USI.
Representation To ensure student voice mechanisms at UU remains authentic and effective for such a diverse membership we have three key groups of elected full time and volunteer representatives: Student Officers, Student Council and Academic Reps.

We also want your input in shaping your Students’ Union. Get involved with student council and have your say on policies being debated or opinion polls.
