Rep Applications 2020/21

Applying for a Senior Course Rep position?

Our applications are OPEN for students to apply for Senior Course Reps until 7th October 2020.

Senior Course Rep places are limited so once you have applied we will contact you to let you know if there is a position available. If there is you will be contacted to attend an interview.

Applying for a Course Rep position?

You can apply for a Course Rep position all year round. Anyone who is interested can apply and there is no interview process. Once you have submitted your application we will contact you to complete your training. It's that simple!

Rep Term

The Rep term runs from September to September, so if your course started in a different month you will still need to reapply to continue to be a Rep from September onwards.

All Student Voice Forums have two Senior Rep vacancies: Senior Rep Chair and Senior Rep Minute Taker. Please check the 'Senior' box on the application form and you will be contacted via e-mail with an interview appointment.??

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Please read this page BEFORE filling in your form:

About the form:

Please enter the Course and Year of Study you will be enrolled on from September this forthcoming September.

If your course is not listed please still apply and select 'Course Not Listed'. Then e-mail london.su@coventry.ac.uk with the name of your course.
