Representation

Our elected student officers are divided into two councils:

  • Students' Representative Council (SRC), the legally recognised body for student representation at the University of St Andrews since 1889, including all SRC subcommittees.
  • Student Activities Forum (SAF), responsible for leading activities and events, including all SAF subcommittees.

The Standing Orders dictate how Councils operates.

This year, meetings will take place on Microsoft Teams. Any matriculated student can attend the beginning of a Councils meeting, and may speak to Councils during the open forum section, whether to raise issues they feel Councils should be addressing, or to give opinions on a motion.

A link to join will be shared on the Councils page prior to each meeting.

Date and Time Council

If there's an issue you think the Students' Association should address, support, or denounce, you can submit a motion. If approved, motions can force the Association to take action, sending a clear message that students are united on a particular topic.

Any matriculated student may add a motion to an agenda:

  1. Write your motion. See the how-to, and past examples in the documents section below.
  2. Collect signatures and matriculation numbers from 25 students. Full names are not necessary, and you count as one of the 25.
  3. Send your motion and list of signatures/matriculation numbers to the Association Chair (SAchair@). They will let you know when your motion is due to be discussed in a meeting.
  4. Attend the meeting. You can introduce your motion, and engage in the debate. If this sounds scary, any of our current officers may be willing to introduce the motion on your behalf.
