Constitution, Policies and Agreements

Everything you need to know about our legal and charitable requirements.

Constitution

The Constitution, made up of the Articles of Association and Schedules, is the governing document of the Students' Association. As such, it rules what can and cannot happen in the Students' Association. As well as this, it gives us our legal status and structures along with all the Committees and the Association's Discipline Code. The Constitution (along with everything else in the Association) is owned by our members – the Students of Strathclyde.

The Schedules set out the governing rules of Strath Union as agreed by our members.
