Student Representation is changing at Bolton!
There are now more ways than ever for you to have a voice within the University. Please see the new structure (2011) for more information on how you can feed into the University.
The Students' Union believes that all Student Reps play an important role in representing the student voice and maintaining the quality of courses in the University.
Student Forums
The Students' Union are currently using the University Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), also known as Moodle to create a virtual space for stdents to talk to their Course and Faculty Level representatives.
The forums are primarily a mechanism to ensure the feedback loop within Faculties works more efficently. raise wider issues they have within their School.

Course Reps
Course Reps are in an excellent position to influence the University. They have the opportunity to express not just their own views, but act as the spokesperson for all the learners on their course. This gives them an opportunity to make a real impact and change the learning experience for learners on their course.

School Reps
School Representatives are in effect a 'second tier' of student representation; they do not replace programme level representatives but are in place to provide a distinction between the two very different roles. They are an essential part of ensuring effective representation at School Level and an integral part of closing the feedback loop.
To represent students at this level takes some responsibility so we are offering students an incentive packages worth up to £400.00 to sweeten the deal.

Students as Internal Subject Review Panel Members
During the 09/10 academic year, Students have the opportunity to become panel members of an Internal Subject Review. Student Panel Members will have an important role in providing a student perspective to the Review, particularly when it comes to commenting upon the student experience. Student Panel Members are appointed by the University with the help of the Students' Union.
To represent students at this level takes some responsibility so we are offering students £80.00 each day they take part in a review.
