What is Student Council?
Student Council is CSU's student decision-making body. It is where your ideas and motions are discussed, debated, and voted on, which helps to lead the direction of the Union and your Elected Officers.
It has three functions:
- Setting and supporting the campaign priorities for CSU
- Scrutinising and supporting your Elected Officers in achieving the change set out in their manifestos
- Establishing policy that enables the student voice to be clearly heard
Want to get involved with Student Council?
We hold elections for Council during the Spring term, and By-Elections in the Autumn term - keep an eye out on your emails, our website and our social media for the announcement!
