Congratulations! You are the newest member of Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union.
Advice You’re given membership to this 31,000+ member strong organisation as soon as you enrol at Anglia Ruskin University; it’s automatic, it’s your right and it’s going to make your time here even better. We are an independent charity that supports students, like you, through university. Being independent from the University means you, and only you, get to decide how we’re run and what we do. You get to decide this by voting in our elections, getting your voice heard through student councils or participating in campaigns. www.angliastudent.com | Introduction
Clubs & Societies Our core function is representation, which means we dedicate almost all of our resources to making sure your voice gets heard in the University, that your rights as a student are upheld and you get the most out of your degree. We also provide students with lots of opportunities to have fun, make friends and get experience outside of the classroom. You might be interested in volunteering, joining one of our sports clubs or societies, attending a ‘give it a go’ session, joining our gym, working for us or attending some of our fantastic events. Everything we do is led by students, for students.
Fun Doesn’t sound like your sort of thing? We have a widely diverse membership, lots of full time students but almost the same number of part time students, a huge amount of international students both from the EU and further afield, as well as many students returning to study. We aim to provide support and services for everyone but we need your help. Tell us what we can do for you and we’ll work to meet your needs. Enjoy this year’s handbook, we think it’s the best yet, and we look forward to meeting you soon.
You! Support 3

“I want to help clubs and societies improve and achieve their goals. I also want to help all students at Anglia Ruskin enjoy their university life outside of their courses. Over the next year my aim is to improve all clubs and societies, and help them reach all their goals set at the start of September 2011. I would also like to get more students than ever involved with existing or new clubs and societies.”
“I have been a member of Rowing, Cheerleading, Netball and was also on the Rugby committee. I want to give something back and ensure the students of 2011/12 have a good if not better time than I did. I want to continue to build on the good work the Union has already done and be part of a great team. I want to ensure current teams and societies develop to the best of their potential by improving sports facilities and student participation.”

Get heard Louder!
We exist so that your voice gets heard in the University and beyond. To do this in the quickest and most simple way possible we have a large network of students who gather your views and help make changes to the Union and University as a result. Every student that’s part of this network has been elected; this ensures they truly represent you and other students at Anglia Ruskin. What does this network look like?
All Students
All Students
You could be a Rep, a member of the Exec, a Club or Society Committee member as long as your fellow students vote for you. We’re a democratic organisation, which means everyone who runs the Union is elected and all decisions are made by our members through voting in elections, councils and referenda. When we say we’re member led, we truly are led by you, our members. The Union also employs permanent staff who run the Union’s services like the shop, bar, gym, volunteering service and advice service. The staff also help the Exec make changes and gather the views of students. As the Union is a charity it has a Trustee Board which is made up of the 5 full time members of the Exec, external trustees who are experts in business and strategy, and student trustees who ensure the views of students are heard. www.angliastudent.com | Get Heard | How do you fit in?

You said: you would like better access to specialist software on campus and at home. We: lobbied the University and worked with Anglia Ruskin Teaching and Learning/ISMS to find solutions. As of September 2011 you will be able to access your University desktop from anywhere in the world including access to specialist photo and audio editing software, applications.
We take your opinions, issues, comments and concerns to the University and lobby for change. Last year we had some big wins for students… You said: The Cambridge library was a difficult environment to study in and improvements needed to be made. We: Lobbied and won more investment for air conditioning, better lighting and clear signage for silent/group working zones in Cambridge and Chelmsford. The Library has since invested £100,000 in more books and resources. An additional £50,000 was spent on new computers and printers to increase access. Opening hours for learning labs have increased and we continue to work with Peterborough students to discuss and lobby on opening times.
Matt East (President 2010-11) with Julian Huppert MP for Cambridge You said: There was a lack of community on campus. We: took control of Volunteering to offer you more opportunities to meet people and we won extra funding for Clubs and Societies.
You said: social space on all campuses was poor and there were too few water fountains. We: Lobbied the Estates and Facilities department and won investment in open access spaces like the Tindal Café (Chelmsford) and the Common Room at Guild House (Peterborough). More seating and outside furniture has been placed around all campuses and water fountains were installed around all University buildings.
Example of a successful lobby 2,500 students completed our ‘Opinion Poll’. This is where you get to choose what campaign we should focus on for the coming year. Students wanted a focus on improving employability
As a result we developed an employability strategy which outlines ways that you can get the extracurricular experience you need to make you more employable after graduation.
The five full time Executive officers spent a tot al of over 3100 hours in Un iversity meetings making the student voice count where it matters
You said: University Accommodation was poor value for money and improvements needed to be made to quality and customer service. We: Presented your feedback to the University alongside research of comparative Universities and other feedback. The University has identified Accommodation as a key area for improvement and we will continue to lobby and support you in this area.
Win! Because of this strategy £40,000 was invested by the ALSS Faculty and the Faculty of Science and Technology into equipment for the SU Academy. This equipment allows students to get hands on experience working in a live music environment as part of their course.
This year students nationally faced the biggest change to Hig her and Further Education in history
You said: IT at Anglia Ruskin was poor and needed huge investment. We: Lobbied for an additional ÂŁ20,000 investment into the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and online quiz tools. We have also started to form focus groups to gather your voice, fed directly to the VLE project. Investment is being made into my.anglia to improve communication and make timetables/tasks easier to access. More open access IT has been made available on all campuses and for much longer including some specialist labs. www.angliastudent.com | Lobby

You said: Feedback on your assessments was often difficult to read and understand. We: teamed up with Anglia Ruskin Teaching and Learning to find out how we could improve feedback. Thanks to your voice we lobbied the University who agreed that all feedback must be typed and follow a consistent format by 2012.
We worked closely with the National Union of Students (NUS) to lobby MPs to vote against the fee increase, meeting with Members of Parliament in London and constituen cies local to Anglia Ruskin. We were successful in Cambridge in this task , with Julian Huppert re-signing the NU S Pledge to vote AGAINST the increas e in fees on the 10th November.

Every year during October and March we elect students to form the ‘Executive’, check out page 9 for the full details. Could you be part of this year’s Executive and help lead the Students’ Union in representing students? Sign up, put your name forward, run for election and change your life and the lives of Anglia Ruskin students in the process.
Election
March &October
Stand for a full time officer position, campaign and win the votes of your fellow students and get elected. The elections in March are for the full time officers; President, Communications, Academic Affairs and two Student Experience positions. You’ll need to take a year out of University, or do it just after you’ve finished, and you’ll be paid £16,000 for your year in office.
All students get the chance to elect the representatives from their Faculty and campus. The students elected in October work voluntarily on a part time basis. Their job is to be the voice of their campus. The positions are Vice President, Vice Communications Officer, Vice Academic Affairs Officer, Vice Student Experience Officer in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough and Fulbourn, as well as Faculty Officers for FHSCE, ALSS, LAIBS and S&T on every campus where there are these Faculties. In total 28 positions are up for grabs.
Being part of the Exec gives you skills, training and responsibilities that really can help improve your chances of finding employment after University. Not everyone can say they’ve lead a charity with 30,000+ members before they’ve even graduated, but now is your chance! Want to know more?

Representation
We co-ordinate the student representation system and work alongside the University to ensure that students are represented throughout the institution.
Be a Student Rep
What are Student Reps? Some of the most important people in the University: they are elected by other students to be their voice. Student Reps sit on committees and attend meetings with staff to tell them what students think about their University experience. Every year group of every pathway should have at least one Student Rep. Could you be a Student Rep? If you care about the quality of your educational experience (remember you are paying for it!), about how you are being taught and the facilities and support that Anglia Ruskin University provides for you, as a Student Rep you can influence decision making on those issues. Being a rep also gives you a great opportunity to learn some important transferable skills, enhance your CV and meet lots of new people. See the quotes below from current Student Reps.

Reps
How much work is it? As much as you want it to be; but as a minimum: (1) All Student Reps should attend their own Programme Committee (your pathway will be part of a ‘Programme’ of related pathways). There is one every semester and they last 1 – 2 hours. There are other meetings – we will let you know when they are happening – and you can get involved with these if you want to. (2) It is an important part of your role that you ask other students who are studying on your pathway what their views are, that you represent those views and feed back on outcomes. (3) Your Student Rep Coordinator will send you regular updates and we ask that you check your emails regularly and give us feedback. (4) All student reps are expected to complete and return the short Student Rep Survey that the Student Rep Coordinators send out towards the end of the academic year. www.angliastudent.com | Representation
How do I get elected as a Student Rep? During your first few weeks at University someone from the Students’ Union or one of your lecturers will talk to you about representation. Your Programme Leader will hold an election in the first few weeks – if not, come and see us in the SU office.
How will I know what to do? The SU employs Student Rep Co-ordinators to support and train Student Reps. They are very knowledgeable and provide guidance to Reps to help them to get the best from their role.
Where can I find out more information? You can find us in the SU Offices in the Tindal Building (Chelmsford), Helmore Building (Cambridge), Guild House (Peterborough) and next to the Student Common Room (Fulbourn) – if you don’t see us at one of your sessions in the first couple of weeks, come and say hello!

Advice
What is the SU Advice Service?
It is a free service that is completely independent from the University. The people who work there are employed by the Students’ Union, not Anglia Ruskin University. The service has a quality mark awarded by the Legal Services Commission, which means that we have a Code of Practice, ensuring that you receive a high standard of guidance.

Feedback from the Big 10 survey 2011
Advisers are trained to help students with a whole range of issues: from helping to resolve a grievance relating to their educational experience; assisting if things go wrong in University accommodation; advising on an academic appeal; providing guidance on the University’s regulations; accompanying students to meetings and hearings; or just providing a listening ear.
Advisers have access to other departments and agencies both within the University and externally. When appropriate, and with the student’s permission, they are able to liaise with the Student Advisers allocated to Faculties, who help students with Faculty-specific issues, and with Student Services Advisers, who provide learning support, counselling, financial assistance and careers guidance. Often a student has a whole raft of issues and the Advisers will give them time to sift through these so that the appropriate help may be accessed.
100% Percentage of students who rated the service excellent (99%) or good (1%)
What other help is available from the Advice Service? The Advice Service produces a range of leaflets. The ‘academic’ leaflets aim to interpret the rules and regulations of the University in a user-friendly way and the ‘welfare’ leaflets aim to provide basic help – a full list is shown below. Information is also available on our website www.angliastudent.com

Categories of assistance Advisers worked hard to assist students to ensure that their voices were heard and this had a direct impact on retention, a factor that has been acknowledged by senior members of the University. The main category of casework is related to academic issues but Advisers also assisted students with: •Health and personal concerns •Financial problems •Accommodation issues •Employment rights
