Academic Support for Students
Read about Fast Links
Academic Representatives are students, chosen by their fellow students, on their course and on the same year, to raise student issues at department and University-wide level. Further information about Reps is available here.
Reps are there to represent you! Should you have some academic issues, ideas or concerns, your rep could be among the first people to contact. It is therefore important that your rep would be approachable, motivated and concerned about your issues.
You can cast your vote online from 13th to 17th October. You will find a link to Academic Representative Elections on www.BathStudent.com/academic.

Please read more about Reps’ role and how to become a rep here.
Staff/Student Liaison Committees are departmental meetings made up of equal numbers of Academic representatives and members of staff. They are an invaluable tool for departments to receive feedback from students on proposed changes to a course structure, curriculum or syllabus. Please read more about SSLCs here.
Academic reps take part in Students’ Union’s Academic Council meetings which deal with larger academic issues affecting all students across the University. Meetings are held separately for Undergraduate and Postgraduate students to help both groups focus on issues which are more relevant to them.
Academic, Welfare, Advice and Representation Centre (AWARE) is there to provide advice and information on a range of issues, from academic to housing, health & personal issues. So if you need help with anything linked to your course such as changing your course, submitting mitigating circumstances, appeal a mark or problems with how an assessment has been carried out, the AWARE staff are here to help you. The AWARE centre also provides free legal advice, and has links to all of the other support services on campus, including counselling, student money service and learning support. If the AWARE staff can not address your problem, they will find someone who can.
