The role of a Course Rep is to represent the views of the students on their course to the academic staff at student/staff liaison committees, meaning they are one of the main channels through which students can exert a measure of control over their own learning experience. Course Reps are vital in aiding the College to ensure the quality of its academic programmes, and in holding those programmes to account.

Each course group elects one or more students to be responsible for communicating student views on issues such as workloads, timetables, library facilities and teaching space. A Course Rep may find themselves asked to inform and question staff on issues as diverse as provision of handouts and claims of harassment or plagiarism. This may sound daunting, but don't worry - KCLSU can offer advice and support on any situation you may face, and it is important to remember that College values the Course Rep system and the dialogue it provides. It is in their best interest to listen to students.
