Committees of the student parliament

Budget Committee

The tasks of the budget committee include the control of the financial management of the AStA and the student body, the statement on the budget and on the accounting result of the student body, as well as on all financially effective applications to the student parliament. The budget committee is also a kind of permanent financial audit of the AStA. It consists of seven members.

Social Committee

The social committee has five members and is responsible for waiving or reimbursing the student body fee in cases of social hardship. It allocates funds from the student assistance fund and processes applications for the reimbursement of the mobility contribution or for exemption from the mobility contribution in cases of social hardship.

Sports Committee

Together with the student parliament of the Fachhochschule Aachen, the student parliament fills the sports committee. It consists of seven members of the RWTH and two members of the FH. This committee is responsible for controlling the sports department and its finances.

Mobility Committee

The mobility committee deals with all issues and questions concerning the mobility of students to and at the university location. In particular, it participates in the preparation and follow-up of the negotiations on the semester ticket as well as the regular discussions with the transport operators.

Election Committee

The election committee consists of five members and is responsible for conducting elections and ballot papers within the student body. It is usually elected in the middle of the legislative period.

Selection committee for the representatives for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses

The commission consists of five members appointed by the student parliament and two student senators as voting members. The other status groups of the Senate and, if required, Department 1 of the university may each delegate one person as an advisory member and one person as a deputy of this person to the selection committee. It is the task of the commission to nominate persons for the office of the Representative for Students with Disabilities or Chronic Illnesses (and a Deputy Representative) every two years.

Student members of the administrative board of the Studierendenwerk Aachen

The administrative board is the decision-making body of the Studierendenwerk Aachen. In this board strategic decisions for the further development of the Studierendenwerk are made. This includes, for example, the determination of the amount of the social contribution that each student has to pay to the Studierendenwerk each semester, or the annual economic plan of the Studierendenwerk. Furthermore, the administrative board decides on the appointment of the management and larger investment measures, such as the construction of new buildings or extensive renovations of student residences.

The administrative board meets at least twice a year. Of the nine members of the council, four come from the student bodies in Aachen. Every two years, the student parliament of the RWTH elects three representatives, the FH Aachen provides the fourth member. They regularly report orally to the students’ parliament on the developments of the previous board meeting.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the student representatives in the Administrative Board (also those of the FH Aachen) by e-mail at vr@stud.rwth-aachen.de.

Electoral Audit Committee

If an objection is raised to the result of the elections to the student parliament, the student parliament had to set up an election examination board to prepare its decision on this matter. This committee makes the necessary preparations for a possible review of the election results and finally makes a recommendation to the student parliament on how to proceed. This committee will only be established as needed.
