Who can attend?

Every registered student is automatically a member of the Students' Union and can attend, speak and vote at the meeting. The meeting can only go ahead with 100 members present.

In the case of a physical meeting we will be signing everyone in using your AberCard as validation, so please bring yours along as proof you are a student!

In the event of an online meeting free tickets will be available via our website.

We are committed to ensuring equal access to all our students. If you have any queries relating to accessibility, or require any of the meeting documents in a specific format please let us know, email suvoice@aber.ac.uk


What happens during the meeting?

Debate and vote on submissions from other students to improve Aber. Known as ideas, and if they are voted through, they become part of our work for the next 3 years.

  • Start a new activity
  • Stop or change a current activity
  • Adopt or change a stance
  • Update or change current Policy

and much more! An idea could be anything, as long as it effects Aberystwyth Students


What language will be spoken?

During the meeting you can choose to speak in Welsh or English!

In the meeting our in house translator will be present. They are not trained in simultaneous translations and will be a summary of what has been said.
