What is Student Council? 

FXU Student Council is the broadest student representative body made up entirely of students to make sure that FXU remains responsive, responsible and accountable to its students.

Who are the Student Council?

Members of the Student Council are a cross-section of course reps from University College Falmouth (UCF) and student members of Student-Staff-Liaison Committees from University of Exeter Cornwall Campus (UECC), covering all academic schools/subjects; and also includes Halls reps of Glasney Village and Tuke House as well as the elected FXU Presidents and Executive Officers.

Student Council Members 2009-10

It is important that you know who your representatives are and how to contact them with issues you would like to raise. They will also do their best to make themselves known to you.

Currently, FXU is looking into the membership of the Student Council as part of the governance review it is undertaking this year.  FXU wants to make sure that students who are often under-represented in student unions are represented such as international students, mature students, disabled students, part-time students and post-graduate students. If you have any thoughts on this or would like to know more, please contact Janice Mitchelson (FXU Research & Representation Co-ordinator). FXU would particularly like to encourage contact students from the groups listed above.

What do Student Council members do?

Student Council members meet twice a term in a formal student council meeting.

Discuss and vote on political policy for FXU (for example, FXU's current Equal Opportunities Executive Officer is working on a policy for equal opportunities to take to Student Council). Actions to put these policies into practice are discussed and agreed.

Find out about current issues from students they represent and raise them at Student Council meetings.

Gain feedback from students on issues discussed at Council.

Read up on reports on activity from each President and Executive Officer.

Deal with any disputes or complaitns concerning Presidents and Executive Officers.

Ask questions!

Create change for the better for students!

How does the Student Council link with all students?

Members make themselves and ways of contacting them known to the cohort of students they are representing. Their contact details for all members will be available on this page soon once the council is formed for 2009-10. See the Presidents and Executive Officers web pages if there is something you would like to contact them about now.
