What to expect from your Induction

This is a brand new event that we are very exited to be running during induction week this year. Staff from Registry, Student Services, Effective Learning Service, Academic Administration and our Student Champions will be coming together to meet with students to discuss any questions you may have about your learner journey at QMU such as:

• Accessing Canvas - QMU's online learning environment
• Student Funding
• Council Tax discounts
• Registering with a GP
• Top Tips from Current Students
• Paying fees
• Support with Study
• Returning to Study
• Disability Services
• Tours of the Campus & finding your way around
  ...and much much more

So if you have any questions about any aspect of your studies or life at QMU, please come and see us at the Welcome Hub (dates to be confirmed).

This session takes around 45 minutes to an hour and will be run by staff from Student Services, the Students' Union and the Senior Management team. It is an opportunity to hear about all of the ways in which we can support you through your journey at QMU. There will also be time to ask questions. 

This is an online induction which you can access via the following link. We will also schedule this as part of your induction session as a reminder that you complete it.
