Councils and student representatives

SUS provides services and support that enhance your opportunities to influence your time at the University and is here for all students who want to exercise their statutory right to student influence! Here you will find links, governing documents, and information that you need to make administration easy and advocacy work fun!

Register student representatives and board

As a council within SUS, you select student representatives for various groups. You register the elected student representatives and the council's board by emailing their names and the positions they have been elected for to studentombud@sus.se

Log in to your SUS-page to see who has been registered within your council. To access information about a council, you must be registered for a position within that council.
