Rules of procedure for the Student Ambassador
The rector has laid down rules of procedure for the Student Ambassador.
In The Rules of Procedure you can read all about what the Student Ambassador's purpose is, and what the Student Ambassador can and should do.
Annual report process
Each year the University processes the Student Ambassador’s annual report in the following way:
|
January |
The Student Ambassador schedules meetings and agrees on discussion items with the Faculties and the Central Administration’s section for Education & Students.
|
|
February |
The Student Ambassador discusses impressions from the previous year in meetings with each Faculty and the Central Administration’s section for Education & Students. |
|
March |
The Student Ambassador sends annual report to the University Director. |
|
April/May |
The Academic Board on Education Strategy (KUUR), the Study Administration Coordination Committee (SAK), the Administrative Management (AL) and the Management Team (LT) discuss the annual report. |
|
June |
The Board discusses the annual report. |
The Rectorate endorsed this process in May 2020 following a proposal in April 2020 from the presidency of the Student Union, the Director for Education & Students and the Student Ambassador [document in Danish].
Evaluation in 2020
The University evaluated the rules of procedure in the academic year 2020-2021, three years after the last evaluation as decided in section 26 of the now historical rules of procedure from 2017.
On basis of the evaluation, the Rector added a new section 8, subsection 3, to the rules of procedure of 3 December 2021. This gives the Student Ambassador the opportunity to discuss a student’s inquiry with relevant managers at the University of Copenhagen, if the Student Ambassador assesses that the administration does not comply to a sufficient extent with the provisions on guidance, assistance and grounds, etc., as laid down in the Public Administration Act, etc.
At the same time, the process for the Student Ambassador’s initiation of investigations was clarified on the basis of practice since 2017 and a number of linguistic adjustments were made.
Evaluation in 2017
When the Rector and University Board established the Student Ambassador function in 2013, it was decided that the Student Ambassador's activities should be evaluated after three years. The evaluation was completed in November 2017.
The evaluation did not lead to major changes in the Student Ambassador's competencies. News was, however, that the Student Ambassador can now "participate in meetings between students and the administration as a neutral third party with speaking right".
In the evaluation report, the Evaluation group mentioned in connection with the neutral third-party role that the Student Ambassador cannot attend meetings as a student's party representative.
