Student voice
Academic Student Representatives
ASRs are AUT students who volunteer to represent their peers at a school, major, or year level — ensuring the academic experience is upheld and continually improving.
ASRs work at the programme level. For university-level academic representation, see the SRC Academic Subcommittee.
