The election of delegates for the 20/21 academic year is underway

Delegates are key to academic follow-up, the betterment of degrees and the everyday life in the classroom. They are also the main representants in front of the faculty and the UAB, which proved essential during the confinement of the end of the last course.

It is during the first weeks of the course that students choose who their representatives will be: the delegates of academic group. Each faculty chooses the configuration of academic groups, ranging from an enrolment group to the year or a mention, for example. The delegate is the representative of the academic group and interlocutor with the faculty and the UAB. Delegates are in contact with the dean’s office, in particular with the coordination of the degree, the vice-dean for students and with Community Involvement unit through elCens, the official register for delegates.

Students who first arrive at the UAB will receive a briefing on the delegate's functions and the importance of this figure. From then on and for a week, students will be able to present their candidacy as delegates and vote for their representatives online. All information about the calendar, the submission of applications and the voting procedure will be published on the Community Involvement website.

Delegates who want to renew their position, if they have the agreement of the academic group, can do so by filling out a form that they will find on the delegate elections website. elcens.participacio@uab.cat is the address to reffer for any doubts about the election and renewal of delegates.

ElCens collects all chosen students and will be updated throughout the process. On 15 October 2020, the 459 academic groups of the UAB will have chosen a delegate.
