The Student Board (NSU Ås) deals with everything that concerns the student democracy, including the daily contact with SiÅs and contact with the different student representatives in various boards, assemblies and committees. The Student Board is the administrative head of the Student Parliament, but it is the Student Parliament that runs the work for the Student Board. The Student Committee consists of elected representatives from each department + elected members of the Student Board. The highest body in the student democracy is the general assembly (Allmøtet). Here, all students have meeting and voting right. Elections to the
University College Board take place here. Representatives to the Student Board are elected at the general assembly, which is held each autumn and spring. The representatives to the University College Board are also elected here. At the department general assemblies, student representatives on department level are elected. All students have meeting and voting right on their department’s general assemblies.
