Student Academic Links (S A Ls)
What are Student Academic Links
The role of the Student Academic Link (S A L) is to provide students within their region or nation with a point of contact for academic-based issues. They work closely with not only the OUSA forum but also student representatives on University central committees. Our Student Academic Links cover each faculty and school and both collect and disseminate information on students' concerns about the academic content or requirements of their study.
Contact a Student Academic Link
If you have any academic-based concerns or issues with your studies, you can be put in touch with the S A Ls team by contacting the OUSA Office on 01908 652026. Please give details of your region or nation and faculty (or if in doubt tell us your general location and your course of study) and we'll put you in touch with an appropriate member of the team.
Want to be a Student Academic Link?
Do you enjoy discussing academic issues relating to the courses you are studying? If so, have you ever considered putting yourself forward to volunteer as a Student Academic Link? We have a number of vacancies for links throughout the regions and nations. The links are appointed by the OUSA forums and you will need to contact yours to arrange to attend a local meeting, where you will have the opportunity to discuss how you think you would be a good Academic Link.
You can contact the OUSA Office at ousa-sal@open.ac.uk for more information about the role and on contacting your OUSA Forum Chair, or you may use the electronic submission form available from the 'Contact OUSA' menu button at the top of the screen.
