What is Academic monitoring?

The most important task of the Ultuna Student Union is to represent the students’ opinions and thereby ensure that the programs maintain high quality. Through the student union, you can make your voice heard so that the content and quality of the programs are continuously improved. Both national education policy and the education-related issues pursued at SLU have a direct impact on your studies.

Students at a university have, by law, the right to represent student interests in all the university’s decision-making bodies. This is a great opportunity for us as students! For example, if you think your program is missing something, if a course stands out in a particular way, or if there have been too few lab hours during a course, the student union can help you present these opinions and advocate for the issues you care about, ensuring that the quality of education is continuously improved.

As a student, it is important to speak up when you feel that something is not right in your program or in a course you are taking. Ultuna Student Union is here to support you and works to ensure that your education maintains the highest possible quality. Feel free to contact one of your elected representatives in your study council at the union if you have questions or concerns regarding student rights or academic monitoring at SLU. Also reach out if you experience difficulties with a course or if you have been treated unfairly. Don’t forget that both the teachers and the student union’s academic representatives also appreciate hearing when a course is going well!

The union exists for you—through the union, you can get involved in your education!
