WELCOME WELCOMe to the University of Glasgow! Starting university can be a scary experience, but there are a number of places where you will be able to find help and advice for virtually any problem you might experience. The information contained in the Diary is intended to give you an overview of what’s available to you at university, but if you require more information, you’ll be able to find it on the SRC’s website at www.glasgowstudent. net, or in the Guide, which is available in the John McIntyre Building on University Avenue if you don’t already have a copy. In this introduction you will find a brief description of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC), who have produced this Diary for you, along with information about the University’s services for students, and the other student bodies. Hopefully this introduction will answer a few of the questions you might have about life on campus, as well as letting you know about a few of the opportunities you’ll be able to take advantage of over the next few years. THE SRC www.glasgowstudent.net www.facebook.com/glasgowuniversitysrc www.twitter.com/gusrc John McIntyre Building University Avenue G12 8QQ 0141 339 8541 enquiries@src.gla.ac.uk Based in the John McIntyre Building, right next to the main gate, the SRC is a unique body on campus. The SRC exists to support you and protect your rights as a student of the University of
the diary 2010/11
Glasgow. This applies to everything else that could bother you while you’re studying, so they can help with anything from health, finance and personal safety to ensuring fair deadlines for work and getting helpful feedback on essays. Membership is automatic for all students, so you don’t even need to worry about joining. Besides representing students’ views and campaigning for their rights, the SRC is committed to making your life at university as hassle-free and enjoyable as possible. They provide a range of invaluable services such as the free halls of residence to campus minibus services, the independent Advice Centre, the cheapest photocopying in the West End, and much more. Finally, the SRC ensures that you have countless opportunities to make the most of your spare time, learn new skills and meet new people by helping to host and support award-winning student media outlets, student volunteering opportunities and clubs and societies. Some of Council’s recent achievements include successfully campaigning for the abolition of the Graduate Endowment; compiling a Student Platform document for Westminster elections candidates; campaigning for Wednesday afternoon to be set aside for extra curricular activities; and collaborating with the University on the development of a fair and clear student maternity/paternity policy. The best way to keep up to date with what’s going on at the SRC is through its website: www.glasgowstudent.net You can also find us online at our Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Scribd websites at the addresses shown above.
REPRESENTATION REPRESENTATION SRC COUNCIL www.glasgowstudent.net/about/council www.glasgowstudent.net/about/elections Council is the main representative body of University of Glasgow students. This is where policy is passed, and issues affecting students are raised to be taken up with the University. It is made up of up to 35 members, including the four sabbatical officers who take a year out in order to concentrate on their work full-time. Other positions include the Officers, who deal with welfare and equal opportunities issues in their particular area of interest, including LGBT students, women, and disabled students; Academic Convenors who deal with academic matters in their college; and General Representatives. Council meets at least 6 times each year. You can find all meeting dates at the web address above. Any student can attend and observe these meetings, and if you want to take part, elections are held in the Autumn for General Rep positions, and Spring for all other posts.
or staff within your school then your Student Rep should be your first port of call. Student Reps allow students to air their views to the academics running their school on issues such as course content, teaching and resources. Becoming a Student Rep for your class/ course might also be a great first step if you are considering getting involved in the SRC. Besides their day-to-day job, Student Reps also operate as a part of the SRC, meaning that they can pass any recurring problems to Academic Conveners and to the Vice President (Learning & Development) who can take further action on behalf of the students. All students are eligible to be representatives for their course; nominations will open in the first few weeks of each semester. Student Reps normally sit on a staff/student liaison committee held once a term but can go to staff at any time to discuss issues raised with them by classmates. They’ll mainly deal with problems about the timetable of lectures or essay deadline clashes but will also be involved in any disputes about teaching quality and other problems at school level.
If you want to contribute by becoming a member of Council, note that two General Rep positions are reserved by constitution to first year students, as well as two held for postgraduate students, who are elected in autumn each year. If you’re interested, obtaining a nomination is easy: to pick up a nomination form and find out more information, check out the election website at the link indicated above.
Student Reps are supported by the SRC, who offer specific training plus advice on more complicated matters. The training sessions for Student Reps are run by the SRC in conjunction with Student Participation in Quality Scotland (SPARQS), and attendance is reflected in the academic transcript.
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES (class/course reps) w w w.glasgowstudent.net/about/ studentreps/
The SRC hold several campaigns every year, designed to raise awareness on issues such as prescription charges, flat hunting and bank charges. Campaigns are also one of the best ways to get involved in what the SRC does and any help and support is always

The Rector normally holds surgeries once a month in the SRC Advice Centre (ground floor of the John McIntyre Building). Dates and times of surgeries will be posted in advance on the webpage indicated above and are included in this diary. All are welcome to attend the surgeries and no appointment is needed. Each surgery is a great opportunity for students to share with the Rector any concerns they may have. The Rector can then take these issues to the University, or on a national level, acting as your representative.

the diary 2010/11
of opportunities regardless of your level of commitment, from the Conversational English Programme, which provides the chance to help international students with their language skills (see dedicated section above), to more involved schemes like Buddy a Granny and the Classroom Support Scheme. SVSS projects are designed to let you engage with the local community from helping school pupils in classes, to providing refreshments for the homeless, and befriending the elderly in Glasgow and beyond. These rewarding activities give you the chance to meet interesting new people and build up your employability skills, as well as providing an opportunity to escape the West End and see a different side of the city. CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH PROGRAMME f.mckenzie@src.gla.ac.uk www.glasgowstudent.net/volunteer This project gives international students the chance to meet with a student volunteer “tutor” for an hour or two each week to help improve their English language skills. Please note that this is not a language course and its aim is not to teach students how to speak English; but rather by engaging in conversation you can practice your spoken English and get help in areas you might be having problems with. You might even get the chance to teach a few words from your own language to your speaking partner!

Check out their programme at: www. internationalsociety.co.uk. The Student Network www.gla.ac.uk/studentnetwork/ studentnetwork@gla.ac.uk The Student Network gives first year students the chance to get advice from current students, who have already completed the course you are about to start, giving you the opportunity to ask those questions about studying at Glasgow that other services may not have the answers to.

Residential Services and Student Halls www.gla.ac.uk/services/residentialservices/ 73 Great George Street accom@gla.ac.uk
Most sites have a staffed reception area that acts as the first point of contact for any problems or enquiries related to student halls during office hours.
Student halls don’t just provide safe accommodation at a reasonable walking distance from campus, but are also one of the best opportunities to meet people and make new friends in first year. If you live in student halls, then that means the University is your landlord and all matters related to that are dealt with by Residential Services, which is based at 73 Great George Street. Your rental agreement includes utilities bills, block halls, personal possessions insurance, and in some sites cleaning of any shared living spaces. If you have any enquiries regarding the agreement, or if you are experiencing problems which make it difficult for you to pay the rent, it is strongly recommended that you contact Residential Services at the earliest possible opportunity. Their staff will be able to help you and advise you. Also, if for any reason you wish to change accommodation, you should get in touch directly with the office at 73 Great George Street. Please note, however, that room changes are generally only allowed after the first four weeks of term one. Should there be a fault or damage to your flat/room, you should contact a member of staff on site or at Residential Services, and in
the diary 2010/11
Pastoral support is provided at all sites outside of office hours and at weekends by a team of wardens and senior residents who live in the properties and act as a first point of contact and support for any problem with the property or welfare issues you might be experiencing. You will be provided with information on how to reach them in person or via phone at your hall of residence. A further social aspect of life in student halls is provided by the Halls Committees. These are elected at the beginning of each year at all undergraduate halls and are responsible for organising social gatherings for the residents of each hall and facilitate their integration. Each committee is provided with a small budget to help with the organisation of events. Safety is key when living in halls, and you should always be wary of basic good practice such as locking doors and closing windows when you are leaving the property, and reporting anything suspicious to staff. Remember that all halls of residence are connected with campus by a free minibus service provided by the SRC in the evenings during term time. For the timetable please see the SRC Minibus Timetable on the inside back cover. Alternatively, you can view it online at: www. glasgowstudent.net/services/minibus/. Basic internet access is offered free of charge
UNIVERSITY SERVICES at all sites. If you want to upgrade to a higher level of service you should contact the providers directly on www.uoghelp.co.uk (except for students living at Wolfson Hall who should contact Residential Services directly).
wholesome, they also run social nights every second Wednesday. Just check out the details on their website.
Finally, if you enjoyed your time at halls so much you want to stay for another year, remember you can apply for re-admission from February onwards and generally speaking there are very good chances you will get a place.
The Interfaith Chaplaincy is a resource for all students and staff.
Otherwise, Residential Services can help you to find new rented accommodation on the private market: they run the Private Accommodation Database (PAD), a list of landlords registered with the University that can be accessed online. For more information visit: http://www.gla. ac.uk/undergraduate/accommodation/ privateaccommodation/
Interfaith Chaplaincy www.gla.ac.uk/services/chaplaincy/
Its two Chaplaincy centres, in the West Quadrangle and at 15 Southpark Terrace, consists of chaplains and advisers from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh communities who are available to speak to any student regardless of their religious viewpoint. The University Interfaith Room is located next to the Chapel and CafĂŠ 1A The Square, and is available to all faith communities for reflection, prayer, meetings and events.
Glasgow Student Enterprise www.glasgow.ac.uk/gse justask@enterprise.gla.ac.uk Student Enterprise helps students to develop new enterprising skills through hands-on learning, competitions and social events. They have a huge variety of initiatives ranging from the original cashprize Big Idea Competition and expert advice if you want to start a business to the more unconventional (but nevertheless very enterprising) university services Agent to the Stars and Confidence and Creativity Challenge. They know there is something to suit you whether you want to be your own boss or just want to increase your chances of getting a great job once you leave university.
