    Student Bank or ATMs that deposit cash

    The university should offer a pop-up bank, or change the ATM's in Curzon Building to be able to deposit cash.

    To do so at the moment, I would have to go to a bank that is further away which is unhelpful for students who don't have money in their account and need to deposit cash to be able to buy food on BCU campuses. This is especially true if you have a lecture and you have a short break.

    It could also aid international students who can sign up for a bank account, or ask questions about starting one, when joining the University.

How it works

Submit

Submit an idea... anything that could improve student experience is a valid idea.

 

  • You must be a BCU student, logged in using your student account
  • You can choose to submit anonymously, so your name won’t be displayed.
    BCUSU staff will still be able to see your name and email to contact you

 

Discuss

You will be contacted by one of the Activities and Representation Coordinators to discuss your idea and make any relevant changes to it.

Vote

Your idea then goes live, here on the Ideas Board for other students to vote and comment.

It will be live until:

  • it reaches 25 positive votes
    or your idea has been live for 6 months (whichever comes first)
  • Students can vote with a thumbs up (agree) or thumbs down (disagree)
  • Votes and comments will help the Executive Officer team make decisions

 

Action

If your idea reaches the 25-positive vote threshold:

 

  • it will be handed over to the Executive Officer team for review
  • they will discuss the idea and decide what action to take
  • the comments section will be updated with the agreed upon actions

If an idea is raised to hold an Executive Officer to account, and it gains 25 positive votes, it will be reviewed at Scrutiny Group.
