Guidelines on Staff Student Consultative Committees

5.0 Basic Principles

5.1  SSCCs should meet at least twice per session, with provision for more frequent meetings as and when desirable.

5.2  It is important that student representatives are able to express their views and those of other students at SSCCs without fear of sanctions by the department. It is therefore incumbent on the department and its staff representatives to facilitate an atmosphere of collaboration and consultation in meetings, with the aim of securing maximum benefits for staff and students alike. Good feedback is an essential feature of an effective SSCC and it is to this end that all representatives should work.
