Staff-Student Consultative Committee for Undergraduate Students

The Staff-Student Consultative Committee for Undergraduate Studies (SSCC-UG) provides a forum for discussion between the staff and students of the School and offers an opportunity for concerns or questions to be raised by students. It observes the UCL Policy for Staff-Student Consultative Committees, as described in the UCL Academic Manual, Section 7.

Constituency

The SSCC comprises:

  • Undergraduate representatives from the various year groups, language departments and programmes;
  • At least one affiliate representative; 
  • The School Undergraduate Tutor (chair);
  • The School Director;
  • At least one of the School Undergraduate Officers.

Student representatives are elected by other students at the beginning of the Autumn Term and serve for the full academic year.

Meetings

Meetings take place twice a year. Scheduled meeting dates are given in the Meetings page of the School website. Additional meetings may take place as agreed by the student representatives and the School Undergraduate Tutor.

Meetings are chaired by the School Director.  The Undergraduate Tutor solicits items for the agenda at least one week in advance. The Undergraduate Programmes Officers normally act as secretary to the committee. Minutes are taken and posted in the Meetings page of the School website.
