Mini Module FAQs

This page should be able to answer some of your questions.

Can I do the module if I am a rep in Halls of Residence, not a Course Rep?

Yes, as long as you are able to meet the requirements of the module assessmnets there is no reason you shouldn't attempt the module.

If I only get the chance to be a rep for a term, can I still do the module?

Yes, as long as your time as a Course Rep is sufficient enough to enable to you to go to enough meetings, and complete the reflective essay detailing the challenges associated with the role, there is no reason you shouldn't attempt the module.

Everyone else started in October, but I didn't become a Course Rep until Christmas, can I still enrol for the module?

Yes, contact Karen Fitzgibbon and she'll explain what you need to do. Karen - 01443482050 or kfitzgib@glam.ac.uk.

Does the credit count towards my qualification?

Not directly, no. The credits are awarded in addition to the credit requirements for successful completion of your studies. However, they will be an impressive addition to your CV and employers rate such activities very highly, particularly if you articulate the challenges and benefits of such a role.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes, we will issue certificates to all students who complete the assessment to a pass standard.

I was a rep last year, but I'm not doing it now. Can I do the module?

Unfortunately not, the experience you have needs to be current and we can't assess retrospective participation. You might want to think about taking on the role again now you can gain credit.

I'm not a level one (first year) student. Can I do the module and will I get the credits at my level of study?

All students currently fulfilling the role of Course Rep on a course at the University can take the module, whatever year of study or stage they are at. However, the module is only accredited at level one, so you will receive 4 credits at level one, not 4 credits at your current level of study.

I still need more information or advice
