DCU Students' Union - Students' Union Funding

Students' Union Funding

The Students' Union is funded through the Office of Student Life (OSL), which is overseen by an Executive, a committee made up of student and university representatives. The OSL employs a Manager of Student Life who, along with providing support to Clubs, Societies and the Students' Union, acts as the OSL Executive's Secretary. The OSL oversees the finances of the Societies Life Committee (SLC) and the Club Life Committee (CLC), as well as the Students' Union. The OSL receives audited accounts for the three bodies annually. On an annual basis (or in some cases every two years) the SLC and CLC and the Students' Union prepare Capitation Proposals, which are submitted to the OSL which awards funding to the three bodies based on their implementation of previous proposals and other factors. The current chairperson of the SLC is Richard Nolan. Katie White is the chairperson of the CLC.
