Week 14 - 25th October 2021

General

🎃 Happy Halloween week! 🎃

Course representatives - We currently don't have any course representatives and would like to offer you the opportunity to you all. You can sign up to become Reps at www.hallamstudentsunion.com/reps . You can log in with your student credentials and complete a short form to register and be automatically added to a central list of Course Rep Signups. This process takes the student around 3-5 minutes and is explained in more detail later in this document. NB: Students don’t need to be elected to become a Course Rep, and there is no limit to the number of students who can be Course Reps.

Communication channels - please refer to this if you are unsure who to contact - who to contact information. Please note we operate a 48h response time. Please do not forward your query/email/message to other staff until you have allowed the appropriate time to respond. Please note some staff are part time which you may need to allow for.

Academic Advisors - There are lists in the induction folders on your blackboard organisational sites. Please make sure you are engaging with your AA. They are there to help you.

Year Leads - you can contact us via the Microsoft teams chat and year channels or via email
