University & Academic Help

If you have any problems with your course, lectures, tutors, fellow students, let us know. You may wish to ask for a President to come along to an Academic appeal or Disciplinary with you - thats one of the things we're here for so don't be shy to ask.

Every Course should have a student (or two) who act as representatives for the rest of the cohort, and attend meetings. For Falmouth, these are called Course Comittee Meetings, and for Exeter, Student Staff Liaison Commitees.

Important issues from these meetings then get taken to the Student Council, where an FXU President or Officer then takes the issue forward and tries to resolve it.

For more information on the structures and how they might change in the near future, check out the representation section of the website.
