Student Parliament - General information
The student parliament (often also referred to as StuPa) is the elected representation of students at a college or university. It is "the supreme decision-making body of the student body"(§ 54 HG NRW).
The main tasks of the student parliament include
- General Students' Committee (AStA): The student parliament constitutes and monitors the AStA
- Setting standards: It draws up and adopts the statutes and regulations (e.g. election regulations) for the student body.
- Budget: It decides on the student body's budget. This essentially determines the use of the AStA portion of the semester fee, which amounts to € 20.00 per student as of 2026.
- Committee representatives: The Student Parliament elects representatives to other university committees, such as the (University) Senate.
The student parliament is made up of various lists that stand for election once a year. Any student enrolled at the university can set up their own list and stand for election.
The student parliament is currently made up as follows:
| List | Seats |
| Campus Green (CG) | 4 |
