Description

This opportunity is being posted to bring to your attention that TU Dublin courses are currently working class reps who must be elected by their fellow class mates.
By applying for this TU Dublin Class Rep opportunity through www.studentvolunteer.ie you are expressing an interest in finding out more or in order to log your hours and benefit from being part of the TU Dublin Class Rep and Student Volunteer communtiy and receiving your awards at the end of the year when you have logged your hours.
A member of the Academic Affairs & Welfare team in the Students' Union will be in touch with more information via email following your application here if you are not already a class rep.

The Class Rep is the elected representative of the students in their class.
As Class Rep are the spokesperson who represents students’ views to TU Dublin and with the Students' Union.
You are a problem-solver who raises issues and finds solutions to any day to day issues in partnership with the academic team on the programme.

Examples of what Reps deal with include queries about timetables, exams, and continuous assessment, feedback on module delivery, improvements to the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), or any course-related matter that the class wants to raise. 

Class Reps are members of their Programme Committee which is a core part of the university's quality assurance framework.

Class Reps also attend  local Class Rep Meetings organised by the Students Union. This is where they network with other Reps, get updates on Union campaigns as well as raise issues for discussion e.g. how to improve the Library Services or fundraising for RAG week.
