Communication
Email is our primary method for communication and it is your responsibility to check your University mail frequently -- at least once a day. If you do not you will miss important information and the School cannot be responsible for the consequences.
Please also see the announcements below and read your weekly Monday Mail.
Handbook
The Undergraduate Handbook is your one-stop source of information about the way the Undergraduate School runs. It tells you about student support, term dates and opening hours, course structure and assessment, how you progress between years, rules and regulations, and how we deal with mitigating circumstances.
Got a query? You'll probably find the answer in the Handbook. We've written it for your benefit, so please take the time to have a look. Printed copies are available at the Student Support Office.

Make your voice heard!
We want to hear from you. If you have any suggestions about making the School a better place, or have any complaints, or there's anything you want to tell us, you can:
- Talk to a representative of the Staff-Student Committee (SSC). This group meets several times in each semester and is an open forum for students to talk honestly to senior staff about the issues that concern them. The School listens, and we take action. Student reps are appointed annually, and the nominations/voting for each Academic Year in Week 2 of term.
- Talk to any of the Tutors listed above. They will treat your comments, if you wish, in complete confidence.
Cheating and plagiarism
- Make sure you understand what constitutes plagiarism and how to correctly reference your work.
