We Need You!

Are you interested in providing support to students who are having trouble progressing through their course?

Almost 1,000 students have their progress reviewed by faculty Progress Committees every year. These committees can restrict or even terminate a student’s enrolment, so they can be a big deal.

The Student Union has developed a program through which students are trained to provide support to students who are called to a Progress Committee meeting.

We are seeking volunteers who are:

  • interested in the welfare of students
  • excited about giving something back to the University community
  • keen to meet people

As a volunteer you will have half a day of training after which you’ll attend faculty Progress Committee sessions during the summer and/or winter vacation. You will only be expected to assist for short periods at a time.
Volunteer training is held in December and July.

Next Session

The winter Progress Committee meetings will be held in July 2008.
Recruitment for the 2008 winter session will start in late May.

The recruitment process is quite informal. We’d like to have a chance to meet you before the training, explain the program, and answer your questions.

To take part in the program, you must attend the training, and be available to work during the committee meeting period in July.

Next Volunteer Training Session: Wednesday 2 July 2008 at Union House

Registration is essential.
