    Rep Email Banner template

    Passed
      Hiya! I'd like to propose the creation and distribution of a small PNG Banner to be able to be included in emails, showing that the person is a course or school rep! It'd be great to add on a small reminder to anyone you email, and help further engage staff and other students in the representation system, through an additional form of Advisement.

    10:55am on 17 Dec 21 This Idea has reached 16 votes and will be passed to your Executive Officer team. Because of the winter holiday, they will pick this up and vote on it in January.

    3:14am on 5 Mar 23 The idea has been completed with the help of BCUSU Marketing by creating Course Rep Badge and School Rep badge email template for Reps to use it.

    How it works

    Submit

    Submit an idea... anything that could improve student experience is a valid idea.

     

    • You must be a BCU student, logged in using your student account
    • You can choose to submit anonymously, so your name won’t be displayed.
      BCUSU staff will still be able to see your name and email to contact you

     

    Discuss

    You will be contacted by one of the Activities and Representation Coordinators to discuss your idea and make any relevant changes to it.

    Vote

    Your idea then goes live, here on the Ideas Board for other students to vote and comment.

    It will be live until:

    • it reaches 25 positive votes
      or until the end of the academic year (whichever comes first)
    • Students can vote with a thumbs up (agree) or thumbs down (disagree)
    • Votes and comments will help the Executive Officer team make decisions

     

    Action

    If your idea reaches the 25-positive vote threshold:

     

    • it will be handed over to the Executive Officer team for review
    • they will discuss the idea and decide what action to take
    • the comments section will be updated with the agreed upon actions

    If an idea is raised to hold an Executive Officer to account, and it gains 25 positive votes, it will be reviewed at Scrutiny Group.
