Class Reps make up one of the most vital parts of the union. They are the eyes, ears and face of the union within the many courses in DkIT. Usually, each class will have at least one class rep. These class reps are vital cogs in the SU machine as they stand up for their class to lecturers and on course committees. Through this, they help the union to work positively on a local level as well as dealing with the major issues which affect the student body as a whole.

A class rep:

• Is the link between the Students’ Union and its members.
• Deals with issues on the ground, such as problems with lectures or problems with course work.
• Participates in meetings and communicates the needs of your class to the relevant officers.
• Represents students on school committees, which deal with issues such as course changes, college policies etc
