policies. It is unfair for students to be hit with a 20% late penalty in one faculty and 2% in another, while other students face constantly changing penalty rates between assessments and courses. It's also unfair that the University fails to recognise the difficulty of balancing workloads and external pressures as grounds for special consideration. STAND UP for the creation of a standardised penalty system to ensure that all students are hit with the same penalty rate for their late submission, regardless of their faculty. STAND UP will ensure that the University recognises the stress put on students in balancing work and study as grounds for special consideration. STAND UP! for Lecture Recordings Lectures are vital for our education. It makes no sense and is unfair for UoS Coordinators to 'opt-out' of lecture recordings, particularly on the grounds of ensuring student attendance. This policy disadvantageous students that are unwell or have to balance study with full-time work loads. STAND UP for compulsory lecture recordings, which are to be made available on a unit's LMS Blackboard site. The full lecture slides or notes should also be made available to students. We want to ensure that all video and audio files of lecture recordings are made available for students to download through Echo Centre for offline revision.

M Stand Up for Student Rights STAND UP! and Fight the Restructure The University continues to advocate for its restructure policy, which would see a streamlining of degrees and the cutting of the number of degrees available to students from 120 to 20. This is a policy that seeks to push students into post-graduate study and even more expensive HECS debt. The University's attacks on the SCA highlight that this policy remains in play. We will work to ensure that the University remains a place of education, not a cash-grabbing degree mill. STAND UP to fight for the protection of at-risk faculties and their staff, and to ensure the University drops its streamlining agenda and keeps the SCA open. STAND UP! for Fair Assessments We think it's unfair that there is such a disparity between faculty assessment

STAND UP! for Travel Concessions Travelling to and from Uni is essential for all students. However, we think that it's unfair that international students are not considered eligible for travel concessions. It's time that international students are stopped being treated like an income gold-mine. STAND UP for concession Opal Cards for international students, and to lobby the University to treat all students with the same respect. VOTE [1] STAND UP For Student Rights
