BCUSU | BCUSU Superstars

The BCUSU Superstars scheme is an accreditation programme designed to help recognise affiliated student groups who provide a great experience for their members.

It rewards you for completing goals that benefit your members and the wider BCU community. Our scheme helps you benchmark your progress, ensure that you are offering the best possible experience for your members, boost your reputation and gain access to a number of group perks!

To get rewards you just need to keep track of the tasks you’ve completed and submit evidence via a simple form - but remember, you cannot skip a stage. You have to start with Bronze and work through Silver to Gold!

How to submit your tasks and process

A member of the committee should complete the form, selecting the goal you want to upload evidence for - you can only do one goal at a time.
This automatically marks that goal on the tracker as pending until a member of the Activities and Representation team evaluates it.

From there, you'll be given one of the following outcomes:
✅ - Goal Complete
❌ - Goal incomplete
