Student Union Policies and Documents section

Includes Winchester Student Union's 'Student Written Submission' for the last university audit: an official document we produced on behalf of students through extensive research carried out in between Nov 2004 to Jan 2005. This important document covers many interesting areas and it was submitted to the QAA for the five-yearly 'Institutional Audit' of the university. 
Also included: Code of Practice for Student Representation (The University of Winchester)

Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) 
The external agency for appeals / complaints.  Important:  it's a requirement to follow the university's academic appeals/complaints procedures first.  Issues are usually resolved effectively within universities - we offer experienced support for you as a student and advice if there is a dispute. In case of problems students should contact University Student Services or your SU Officers. This agency is the later step if you still feel unfairly treated.
