The Tygerberg Academic Affairs Council is a committee made up of class representatives. We represent the academic needs of all students on the Tygerberg Campus. 

If you need assistance from the TAAC, you can ask your class representative. They are the official TAAC representative in your class. Any and all academic questions can be sent to your class representative. 

If you have a problem with a timetable, examinations, scheduling of lectures, missing content on SUNLearn, or anything related to your modules and your academic programme – your class representative will help you. If he/she cannot help you, he/she will ask the rest of the TAAC for help. 

Email your lecturer directly. You do not have to involve your class representative in this matter.

The TSR handles all matters that are NOT academic. The TAAC ONLY handles academic-related matters. 

At the beginning of the first year (and at the end of every year thereafter) a nomination and election process is carried out to choose the new class representative and vice-class representative for the new year. If you want to be a class representative, you must nominate yourself, or ask someone else to nominate you, when elections open. 

How we help will depend on what you ask, but we can:

1. Provide you with advice on who to speak to in faculty.
2. Actively escalate and investigate your matter with faculty. 
3. Schedule meetings with role players to discuss the issue.
