Your guide to studying at Gateshead College

Gateshead College Students’ Union
Everyone is automatically a member
of Gateshead College Students’ Union
(GCSU) when they enrol with Gateshead
College. The Union is run by students and
is here to represent you throughout your
studies. We gather feedback from students
about the college, co-ordinate campaigns,
attend college meetings, organise
activities, raise funds for charity and liaise
with National Union of Students (NUS).
Each year a group of students are elected
into positions on the Students’ Union
Executive Committee and this group
meets every two weeks to discuss current
issues and plan actions on campus.
Information about the Students’
Union’s activities and events will be
published on notice boards, plasma
screens and in e-newsletters.
If you have feedback for them about
the college or wish to get involved with
the work of the Union please email
student.activities@gateshead.ac.uk.
Gateshead College students can get
a TOTUM card which gives exclusive
discounts from big name high street
and online retailers. TOTUM cards are
available to purchase for £14.99 online at
www.nus.org.uk.
Elections for the Executive Committee
take place in October for the positions
of Finance Officer, Welfare Officer,
Education Officer, Equality and Diversity
Officer, Secretary, Entertainments
Officer and Activities Officer.
