Your rights and welfare

These are entitlements you already have as a Thammasat student, not favours anyone needs to grant you. That includes the right to feel safe: if anyone's behaviour ever makes you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or violated, see Safety and emergencies for how to report it.

Your vote#

As a Thammasat student, you vote in three separate elections:

• the Student Council (TUSC), elected at campus level: 100 members across the three campuses, who represent students to the university and approve and scrutinise student activity budgets
• the Thammasat University Student Union (TUSU), at both campus level (TUSU Tha Prachan) and central level
• your own faculty or programme's student committee

See Getting involved for what each of these bodies actually does and how to contact them, and for how to run for one yourself.

Freedom of dress and forms of address#

• You may wear your own clothes (private clothes) on general occasions, including classes and exams, as long as you do not disturb others' concentration or rights.
• You may wear the student uniform according to your own gender identity for classes, exams, placements, university business, ceremonies and faculty-specific events.
• You may have your photograph taken in uniform according to your own gender identity.
• If you are graduating, you may dress in academic dress and submit your graduation photographs according to your own gender identity.
• No gendered title is imposed in any part of student business, except where the law requires one or a specific process (such as new student registration) needs one. No title appears on your student card.

Free menstrual products and condoms#

At Tha Prachan, you can get free menstrual products from your own faculty, or from the TUSU Tha Prachan room. A condom dispenser is available on floor 1 of the student activity building (ตึกกิจกรรมนักศึกษา).

At Rangsit, menstrual products are available at the Thammasat Well Being Center and at dispensing points near the toilets at Puey Ungphakorn Library and the Princess Narathiwat Learning Centre.

Facilities at Tha Prachan#

Common questions#

Which app do I actually need?

The TU Greats App. It is the one app every Thammasat student needs: your student card lives in it, and you book counselling appointments and other services through it.

Where are the prayer rooms?

There are three at Tha Prachan: in front of the gymnasium, on floor 6 of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, and at U1 of Pridi Banomyong Library.

Where can I borrow sports equipment?

From your own faculty, or from the TUSU Tha Prachan room on floor 2 of the student activity building. Bring your student card.

How do I book a room in the student activity building or the gym?

Book through the SATU booking system (opens in a new tab) and attach the request form (แบบฟอร์มขอความอนุเคราะห์).

Can I park on campus?

Undergraduates can bring a car onto campus only from 16.30 onwards; daytime parking is reserved for postgraduate students and staff. Before then, the nearest options are Sanam Luang (free) or Wat Mahathat (paid). See Getting around Tha Prachan.

Where do I take a complaint?

Registration matters go to your faculty and the Registrar's office. Anything about course content, fees or your own programme goes to your faculty student committee first, because the rules differ between faculties. General matters can go to TUSU Tha Prachan. Harassment or bullying has its own dedicated channels, separate from the routes above: see Safety and emergencies.
