All that staff need to know about supporting the student voice through the Strath Rep programme.
StrathReps is an exciting joint venture between the Union and the University to create consistent and interactive ways of conducting the nomination, voting and election of Student Reps.
Previously, elections occurred offline and processes varied by department. Rep elections will take place online via Strathclyde Mobile App for most courses.
The StrathReps project has minimized the amount administrative tasks staff need to complete to register reps. In most cases, a student will nominate themselves through the Strathclyde Mobile App. Depending on the number of candidates there will then be an election in the app the following week, or they will be automatically appointed as the Programme Rep. This means that reps are automatically registered as being the Programme Rep for their course, and staff need to take no further actions.
After nominations and elections in late-September, you will be given access to a Pegasus webpage that will display the details of the Programme Reps in your department.
If your department is not running virtual elections, please contact strathunion.rep@strath.ac.uk to register the reps. It is important that this is done to ensure reps have access to training and support.
Currently postgraduate reps are not elected through the app and will be registered via administrative staff as done so in previous years.
SSLCs could be delayed until after elections, or alternatively the invite opened out to all students interested in the rep role to maintain the dialogue with students.
It is mandated that each programme has student representatives.
You can contact the Union's Representation on the usual email address strathunion.rep@strath.ac.uk to make sure you are made aware of any planned sessions.
