Communicating with the department 

The Department of Health Sciences uses several channels of communication to convey information to you. It is your responsibility to check regularly with these sources of information.

Email

Our main point of contact with you is through your University of York email address (for example, abc1234@york.ac.uk). You must check this account regularly. When contacting staff please provide as much information as possible, and please sign off with your full name and/or student number.

VLE

The VLE enables you to access electronic learning materials associated with postgraduate modules such as lecture notes, presentations and reading lists (including links to e-journal articles and websites). The Department uses electronic submission through the VLE as standard for written assessments. Specific assessment submission guidance will be provided in Module Assessment Guidelines and on the Student Intranet which are both also accessible through the VLE.

The VLE is available using your University of York username and password from home, campus and your workplace in the UK or overseas.

E:Vision

The e:Vision web portal system provides you with electronic access to data held about you in the University’s student record system, and also allows you to maintain your own address and contact details. If you change address or telephone number you can use your e:Vision account to update your contact details on the University’s records system. You have an obligation to ensure that your personal data is up to date and accurate and you should notify the appropriate person within the University where data held on the system is not correct.

In addition, assessment and module results are released to you through your e:Vision account.

You will require your University username and password to access your records.
