Welcome to Your SU

On the 3^rd of November the first Union Assembly meeting of the year was held, here are the key things that happened.  

On the evening of Monday 2^nd November, newly appointed Student Academic Reps from across the University came together at our annual Academic Rep Conference.

For a range of reasons, when students apply to university, they will have a preference for certain types of accommodation. Whether it’s the obvious option between which type of bathroom you want, or the choice between a view of Morecambe Bay and the wall of the building opposite, you would’ve made that choice knowing that for the next year, that will be your home.

In August we discovered that Stagecoach had gotten rid of the Terms 1-2-3 unirider bus pass without telling students! As a result, I launched a survey asking students their thoughts and got 1400 responses, in under 3 weeks!

Getting to university should not become another financial barrier. I’m launching a campaign to understand how campus car parking affects Lancaster students, from the cost of daily parking to the challenges of finding a permit that works for them.

A collaboration between the Library, LUSU and the Accessibility Community has opened a repurposed space to help individuals with sensory needs. 

Students are invited to nominate themselves for positions within College JCRs and PG Board, as well as positions of Student Trustee and International Students’ Officer. In this article, we want to explain the nomination process: how to do it, what to consider, and what happens next. 

We know that nominating yourself in an election may be something you have never done before or come across again in your life after university. Hopefully, this will be a great first experience!
