Strike action is still ongoing at Colleges across Scotland, and the next lecturer strike day at Edinburgh College is on Monday 29th April. Campuses will still be open, and your lecturer should be able to advise you if your class is going ahead.

We know that the ongoing strike action, and 'action short of strike action', which means results are not being entered on to College marking systems, has been impacting students in lots of different ways. We want to hear more about your experience of this recent period of industrial action, so we can continue to help and support students in any way during this challenging time.

Please share how you have been impacted by filling out this short form.

Feedback Friday is back!

This time, we want to know what your plans are for next academic year.

You might already have more studying lined up, or are off into the world of work - whatever your plans, we want to know!

Today's question:  "What are your plans for next year?"

Calling all Class Reps!

We are hosting the final official Class Rep meeting of the year online via Teams on Thursday 2nd May at 4-5pm.

We'll also be talking about the recent industrial action has been impacting you, and getting your views on how we can improve the Class Rep experience.

This is the last official Class Rep meeting of the year so please join us and make your voice heard! The link to join will be posted in the Class Reps Teams channel next week.

We've been busy recently with some great events, so here are some photos to give you a flavour of what we've been up to. Games Day, Crafternoon, Earth Day, and Lunch Time Lego, and NUS Conferences to name a few!

Over the past few weeks, our officer team have been attending conferences to represent Edinburgh College students at boht a Scotland and UK-wide basis.

Our President Skye has written a blog about what it's all about and why it is important to you.

There is a General Election coming up this year, and for the first time, voters are going to have to present official ID in order to be allowed to vote.

To help make sure students have the relevant ID, the National Union of Students have teamed up with CitizenCard to provide free Photo ID for students (usually £18). 

Photo ID is useful for lots of things besides voting, including applying for jobs, rental agreements and for proof of age.

Follow the link below and use the discount code "NUS" to get your ID for free (usually £18).

Come and let your imagination run free building some Lego - at lunch time (12pm - 1.30pm) on Thursday 9th May in the Hub at Granton campus. 

Beginners or keen enthusiasts are welcome! All Lego provided :)
