AStA and StuPa

The Student Parliament (Stupa) is the highest decision-making body of the constituted student body, i.e. the community of all students at the university.
The Stupa decides on the use of your contributions. All students pay a fee for the work of the student council. The current contribution is €13. The Stupa decides how this money is used. The Stupa determines the composition and work of the AStA. The AStA (General Students' Committee) manages the business of the student body. However, it is bound by the instructions and decisions of the Stupa. The Stupa can, for example, decide on topics that the AStA should deal with. The meetings are once a month. The Stupa appoints student representatives to various Committees. Student members are always being sought for committees, commissions etc. The Stupa decides who may represent the students there.

Legal regulations apply to the areas mentioned above. Without a functioning Stupa, there would no longer be any legitimacy for the use of semester contributions, especially for the work of the AStA.
This would mean: No Ersti events, no semester parties, no workshops, coin-operated photocopiers, university sweaters, recording equipment rental etc., no semester - ticket.

According to §2 of the Regulations for the Elections of the Student Parliament of the University of Music and Drama, all students duly enrolled at the HfMT on the cut-off date, December 6, 2024, are eligible to vote. They can vote and be elected. The list of voters drawn up for the students is decisive. It can be viewed in the porter's lodge at the Milchstraße and Wiesendamm campuses (during opening hours).
