More and more students are seeking advice and counselling from the UCPH student ambassador. Since January 2017, student ambassador Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert and his employees have received more than 370 inquiries from students who are in the process of appealing against a decision or need additional guidance about their rights.<\/p>\n
In the spring, an evaluation of the ambassador function was carried out, and it showed that there was ambiguity about the student ambassador\u2019s role and the scope of his or her duties. The UCPH Board and Rector have therefore adjusted the remit of the student ambassador’s work.<\/p>\n
“UCPH is still the only Danish university with a student ambassador, so when the Board set up the function in 2013, there were not many places to seek inspiration. Over the course of the five years of the scheme, we have now gained some experience. So it is only natural that we now adjust the rules a little,” says Rector Henrik C. Wegener in a press release.<\/p>\n
The biggest change in procedure is that student ambassador Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert can now “participate in meetings between students and the administration as a neutral third party with the right to speak”. This means, in practice, that he has the right to sit in on conversations where a student is accused of cheating at exams, to make sure that students understand the information from the administrators correctly, and to gather experience for his general counselling work.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the future, I can take part as a neutral third party if the student so wishes. It is always a difficult situation, so it may be good to bring a third party along with you,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert.<\/p>\n
His guidance work is mainly divided between three types of cases:<\/p>\n
Exam complaints, dispensation cases and complaints about legal issues (i.e. whether a decision has been taken in accordance with the rules).<\/p>\n
I usually say that I can help if the dialogue with the local student counselling has ended in chaos.<\/p>\n

“My main role is to ensure that the information that the students\u2019 receive from the administration is correct and that it is clearly communicated. I usually say that I can help if the dialogue with the local student counselling has ended in chaos,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert. He emphasizes that he can offer neutral legal guidance but that he cannot represent the student or take any decisions in the cases.<\/p>\n
“In principle, I am bound to professional secrecy about students’ cases. But if I see mistakes in the case processing that repeats itself, I have a duty to report it to management,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert.<\/p>\n
In the new rules of procedure, it has been clarified that the student ambassador refers to the University Director. However the student ambassador is still independent of the University’s students and staff as well as the UCPH management and the Board of Directors.

Wegener in a press release.<\/p>\n<h3>Neutral third party at meetings<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest change in procedure is that student ambassador Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert can now “participate in meetings between students and the administration as a neutral third party with the right to speak”. This means, in practice, that he has the right to sit in on conversations where a student is accused of cheating at exams, to make sure that students understand the information from the administrators correctly, and to gather experience for his general counselling work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the future, I can take part as a neutral third party if the student so wishes. It is always a difficult situation, so it may be good to bring a third party along with you,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert.<\/p>\n<h3>The student ambassador cannot take decisions<\/h3>\n<p>His guidance work is mainly divided between three types of cases:<\/p>\n<p>Exam complaints, dispensation cases and complaints about legal issues (i.e. whether a decision has been taken in accordance with the rules).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I usually say that I can help if the dialogue with the local student counselling has ended in chaos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Student ambassador Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>“My main role is to ensure that the information that the students\u2019 receive from the administration is correct and that it is clearly communicated. I usually say that I can help if the dialogue with the local student counselling has ended in chaos,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert. He emphasizes that he can offer neutral legal guidance but that he cannot represent the student or take any decisions in the cases.<\/p>\n<p>“In principle, I am bound to professional secrecy about students’ cases. But if I see mistakes in the case processing that repeats itself, I have a duty to report it to management,” says Bo Gad K\u00f8hlert.<\/p>\n<p>In the new rules of procedure, it has been clarified that the student ambassador refers to the University Director. However the student ambassador is still independent of the University’s students and staff as well as the UCPH management and the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Receive a weekly newsletter in your inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":42,"name":"Education","slug":"education","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":42,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":661,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":987,"name":"Admin","slug":"admin","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":987,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":842,"name":"Administration","slug":"administration-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":842,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":6,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":413,"name":"Student ambassador","slug":"student-ambassador","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":413,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":410,"name":"Studenterambassad\u00f8r","slug":"studenterambassadoer-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":410,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":412,"name":"Studieadministration","slug":"studieadministration-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":412,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11485,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/bogadkoehlertfotosafkimmatthaileland2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61192"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61196,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61192\/revisions\/61196"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
