Week 19 w/c 29/11/21

General

Safety on nights out - You may all be aware of an increased number of spiking across UK cities including Sheffield. Please take a look at the SHU guidance here to check how you can stay safe whilst out and about at night. Sheffield prides itself on being a safe city and the University are keen to prevent these instances and support those affected. If you are concerned about this please speak to your Academic Advisor and Hallam Help,

Staff Student Committee meeting - The next SSCM is on the 11th January 2022. If you have any feedback please ensure you liaise with your group reps before this meeting.

Self selection of exams - In response to student feedback and following consultation the Course Management Team have agreed that all student exams will now be fully allocated by the Module Leader. There will be no self-selection of exams in future Physiotherapy Specific modules.
