UniSA SRC is one of the major bodies you automatically become part of as a student. There are certain things you must know about the SRC and I have outlined them all on this page.
There are so many functions of the SRC in every tertiary institution. What is the SRC all about? I will answer this question and all the many other questions you have.
What SRC Means And How it Works?
SRC stands for Student Representative Council. The SRC is the major governing body for students in every tertiary institution. Just like in any governing body, there are a number of seats for which the council members must be elected.
The election is done through a strict and well-governed electoral process. Usually, all students must take part in the election process to elect their council members.
Most of the time, external bodies are hired to oversee the election from the beginning to its final result. This is to ensure there is a fair election.
After the election, the newly elected members then go under oath to serve the students by strictly following the guidelines in the SRC constitution.
The SRC is a very important structure in very tertiary institutions per the Higher Education Act. So the institutions can’t do without it.

UniSA SRC Responsibilities
Since the SRC is to represent the students in every way possible, it makes them have so many responsibilities resting on their shoulders. Below are some of the responsibilities of the UniSA SRC.
- The SRC is part of the major decision-making process at the tertiary level so they have to represent the students at every decision-making meeting.
- Supporting students by any means possible is also another major responsibility. In fact, that one a top priority for the SRC.
- Another important role the SRC must play is to educate the students on new developments and also channel the feedback from students to the higher authorities.
- It is also important for the SRC to see to it that all students are treated fairly. This makes it the only body that students can express their pleasure or displeasure about the institution to.
These are some of the responsibilities of the UniSA SRC. There are so many things they do for students and the University as a whole. But it will always end up with the word “Governance”. Treating the SRC as a government will make you better understand the roles and responsibilities.
