Amendments to Institutional Protocol for Section 6.1, April 2013 An extra-curricular activity can only be HEAR-able if it requires either: Sustained and regular commitment over a minimum of one semester, or At least 10 hours interaction, or The completion of an additional task (for example the submission of a reflective account). These amendments have been proposed to ensure that activities recognised in Section 6.1 require a certain level of student engagement.

Example Contextualising Statement: President of a Society Committee (to be accompanied by a description of their society) The President has overall responsibility for the society and should lead the society committee in its decision-making. S/he should ensure that all other committee members are fulfilling their roles effectively by motivating them, delegating tasks and providing advice and support where necessary. S/he should act as a spokesperson of the society and as a link between the society and Students' Union staff.
