Student community representatives

Role of Student Representatives

Student representatives play a crucial role in improving the quality of teaching and educational programs at the University of Tuscia. They represent the needs and experiences of students in the first, second, and third cycles within institutional settings. Student representatives are therefore a key player in building an inclusive and responsive university community, helping to ensure that the needs of female and male students are heard and effectively addressed.

Their main functions can be summarized as:

  • Voice of the Student Community: They represent the needs, suggestions, and concerns of students in the decision-making bodies of the University. They advocate for the student community on matters related to teaching, services, and other aspects of university life.
  • Participation in Collegial Bodies: They take part in meetings and decisions of various University bodies, such as the Board of Directors, the Academic Senate, Department Councils, and Course of Study Councils. In these venues, they express opinions and vote on proposals that impact university life.
  • Mediation and Communication: They act as intermediaries between the student community and university institutions, facilitating communication and working to resolve any problems or concerns raised by students.
  • Initiatives and Proposals: They can propose and support initiatives aimed at improving the quality of university life, such as new services, cultural activities, and infrastructure improvements.
  • Professional and Personal Development: Through their role, they gain valuable skills for their personal and professional growth, such as group management, effective communication, and negotiation skills.
  • Involvement in Projects and Committees: They participate in committees and working groups that address specific issues, such as teaching quality, access policies, and student services.

  • Election Procedures

    The representatives are chosen through democratic elections that take place at different levels within the University:

    First-Level Elections
    Students elect their representatives (e.g., in the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors). These representatives are chosen by universal suffrage directly from students who are regularly enrolled.

    Second-Level Elections
    Elected representatives can then be elected or appointed to serve in other collegial bodies of the University. These elections take place within the groups of already elected representatives and may include second-level elections or appointments by higher bodies.

    Elections for External Bodies
    Representatives may also be elected to participate in bodies outside the University, such as the Regional Council for the Right to Education, through specific elections or appointments.

    Elections are conducted according to the procedures established by the University Regulations, which define the procedures, timelines, and rules for candidacy and voting.
    Students can run for election and vote according to the guidelines specified in the Regulations, and detailed information on elections and candidates is provided on the University’s official website through official communications.

    Candidacy:
    Students interested in becoming representatives must submit their candidacy according to the deadlines and procedures specified in the Regulations.

  • Student Representatives in the University Bodies

    Student representatives are present in all bodies and working groups of the University of Tuscia that deal with issues of interest to students. They provide opinions on proposals under discussion, acting as intermediaries between the student community and decisions related to teaching, services, and other aspects of university life.

    At the University of Tuscia, student representatives participate in various bodies, including the Board of Directors, the Academic Senate, the Evaluation Committee, the Department Councils, and the Course of Study Councils. Additionally, there is the Student Council, which gives mandatory opinions on proposals related to the activation, modification, or elimination of study programs, as well as on interventions concerning the right to education and student services.
