Why, who, what & how / Who can be a Sabb?

From part 3 - "Descriptions of Positions" - in the candidate pack:

"So, you want to stand as a student (Sabbatical) Officer, but you must first determine if you are eligible. To be eligible you must be a full member of the Students’ Union and be enrolled on a course at the University of Portsmouth.

 

1: Union Membership

Firstly, in adherence with Schedule One of the University of Portsmouth Students' Union Constitution, Full Members of the Union are defined as:

Such persons who are registered or enrolled as students at the University (and in so doing have consented to be members of the Union) and who have not opted out of membership of the Union by written notice to the Trustees shall be members of the Union. Such other persons as are admitted to membership in accordance with the Articles and any applicable Regulations made under Article 9.2 and the Sabbatical Officers shall be members of the Union.

Unless the Trustees make other provision under Article 9.2, the Trustees may in their absolute discretion permit any member of the Union to retire, provided that after such retirement the number of members is not less than two. Members who are removed from the register or the roll of students of the University shall automatically cease to be members.

For the avoidance of doubt, only persons who are registered or enrolled as students with the University and the Sabbatical Officers may be members of the Union for the purposes of the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Any category of membership established by the Trustees which confers rights or privileges on persons other than those registered or enrolled as students with the University or the Sabbatical Officers may not confer on such persons voting rights at general meetings of the Union.

 

2: Course Enrolment

All students studying on full time and part time courses (including HND and degree courses) qualify as prospective candidates.

 

3: International Students

If you are not a UK resident, you will need to be eligible to obtain a UK work permit in order to take up your position.
