Become a Class Rep

The Class Rep is the “Voice of your Class” and represents the views of the majority of the class. They help to solve both individual and class-wide problems. If you decide to run for Class Rep, your responsibilities will include communicating between your class and the course lecturers, attending SU Council and your College Council meetings to help formulate Students’ Union policies and arranging class parties, hoodies etc. Being a Class Rep is good fun and a great addition to your CV.

Becoming a Class Rep for 2015/2016 will take place by election in each class either by the Students’ Union or by lecturers. Upon election, the newly elected Class Rep will be registered by the Education Officer. 

If you have any queries please contact the Education Officer on su.education@nuigalway.ie
