Month: March 2022

Elections to the Student Council and the University Council will take place on Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th of March. Students from each School will elect representatives to the Student Council for one year and representatives to the University Council for two years. The elections are electronic and take place through the University’s internal website, Uglan.

Those students who have voting rights are the ones that are registered to study at the University of Iceland for the school year 2021-2022. Guest and exchange students, as well as students who are registered for study programs with individual courses, such as in Símennt, do not have the right to vote.

The opening hours of the election system at Ugla is new this year; elections will be open from 09:00 on March 23rd until 18:00 on March 24th.

Students at the School of Humanities will not be able to elect a representative to the Student Council because only one list of candidates is running for the Student Council, on behalf of the organization Röskva. In accordance with Article 32 of the Student Council Act, Rakel Anna Boulter, Draumey Ósk Ómarsdóttir and Magnús Orri Aðalsteinsson are self-elected as student representatives for the Student Council of the University of Iceland and the School Council of the School of Humanities 2022-2023. Students at the School of Humanities are, however, encouraged to exercise their right to vote and elect student representatives to the University of Iceland’s University Council. Elections to the University Council will take place in parallel with the Student Council elections on the 23rd and 24th of March.
