The Student Representative Council (SRC) is the elected leadership body that represents the student voice at the Central University of Technology, Free State. It serves as the vital link between the student body and university management, coordinating student activities, societies, and welfare initiatives across both campuses.

Mandate and Governance

The SRC operates under a clear mandate to ensure co-operative governance and student success:

• Statutory Basis: Established in terms of the Higher Education Act (Act 101 of 1997) and the CUT Statute.
• Elections and Terms: The SRC is elected annually in September. The Secretary-General serves a 12-month sabbatical term (January to December) and must hold a CUT qualification.
• Student Parliament: The functional advisory body of the SRC, composed of representatives from all recognised student organisations, clubs, societies, and residences.
• Co-operative Governance: The SRC operates on a mandate-driven structure, liaising with university management to coordinate student life and reinforce the position of the SRC as a full-time student leadership body.
