Reps are given benefits from the SU for attending training and meetings and being proactive within their role.

The appointment of the course reps takes place in the first term, and is facilitated by School Reps with the help of the academic staff and lead reps. Once appointed reps are given training and a handbook which they can refer to throughout the year, at this point they can also purchase a discounted rep hoodie.
