Other new students may simply be sticking with the first person they met. Either way, they’ll be very happy for you to introduce yourself.

Our top confidence tricks are: • Do go up to people and say hello. Even if you feel boring just asking them where they’ve travelled

• Do invite other new students back to your place.

This way your family members will feel included in your new lifestyle (and will be less protective as a result). It’s also a great way to make friends, as most students will be glad of a good homecooked meal!

There are lots of activities in the first week for you to enjoy, but if you want to become the person that everyone else comes to for information (always a good ego boost!), then try the following: • Do go walk about Bognor Regis so you can get your bearings and find out where the various shops are based • Do go to the local supermarket, rather than relying on the campus cafeterias or the local chip shop.

Marketing Forums The marketing forums, organised by Lionel Bunting, are a series of events for students and businesses that enable invited business to present a real life marketing issue to our students for them to review, discuss and propose solutions for. It’s a perfect way for business owners, managers and their team to gain a fresh perspective on challenges they

face from the creative and enquiring minds of our undergraduate marketing and business students.

They take place throughout the semester on a Tuesday between 3-5.30pm and are structured using a 5x20 minute block schedule. 20 minute networking, refreshments and welcome, then a 20 minute guest talk, 20 minute interactive activity followed by 2x20 minute business consultancy rotations. The consultancy element is working with invited businesses which present an issue or problem that they would like our students to work, to asking probing questions, suggest ideas and discussing possible solutions. This will be a focused 20 minutes session, after which you get to move on to another business and do the same again, so you’ll get the chance to work on two businesses and their business challenges.

These sessions are a perfect way for you to enhance your employability skills, work directly with businesses on real life problems and gain those all important personal contacts that may be the key to the next step on your career path. All students in the Business School are welome to attend.

Most importantly cake is provided!

Throughout induction week it is important that you regularly check the induction noticeboards to ensure that you know which sessions you should be attending and in what room. Please also make sure that you check your University email regularly.

Following your initial registration we will be allocating you a personal tutor in readiness for your group meeting with your personal tutor on Thursday afternoon. Confirmation of your personal tutor will be posted on the induction noticeboards and circulated via email.

If you have any queries or concerns at any point then please come and talk to the admin team who will be able to help you.

Getting off to a Successful Start On Tuesday and Thursday we will be running a series of workshops designed to help you make a successful transition to your studies at the University of Chichester. These sessions are compulsory and all students are expected to attend.

Workshop 1: Making a Successful Transition What are your expectations of the university and life as a student? The aim of this session is to explore your views, reflect and form a survival guide – what are you expecting over the next few years? What is going to be different from life at school, college and home? What support is there? How will the next few years shape your employability? We will cover these themes as well as providing you with an informal environment to ask questions. At this workshop you will take part in interactive discussion and activities with your new colleagues and come away with action points as a basis for your time at Chichester University.

Workshop 2: Working Successfully as a Team Team work or collaborative learning is an integral part of university teaching and learning within the Business School. As part of your module studies you will regularly be asked to work in small groups during workshops, and at times will also be asked to undertake group-based assessment tasks. There are numerous advantages to collaborative learning and this workshop will apprise you of how best to take advantage of the opportunities that can be derived from this type of learning, as well as other benefits that will be presented to you on account of group work.

Workshop 3: Introduction to Moodle and Library Resources The aim of this session is to provide an introduction to Moodle, the University’s Virtual Learning Environment.

You will be given guidance on how to access your own module resources, and additional Business School Resources. The session will also cover the University’s online library catalogue and demonstrate how you can access online books and journal articles.

Workshop 4: Your Employability Journey - The Long View It is likely that one of the primary reasons behind your decision to invest both time and money into your degree is to enable you to be well placed to move on to an exciting and prosperous career when you graduate. Although graduation at this point in time may seem some way off, the purpose of this workshop is to enable you to put yourself in the shoes of an employer and start to think about your wider skills development and how you can foster the creation of ‘brand you’ over the course of your studies. The workshop will also introduce the role of the personal tutor and how he/she can support you in your personal and academic development.

Your Personal Tutor

Within the Business School, the role of the personal tutor is designed to support you with your academic and personal development whilst you are at university. Your personal tutor will get to know you and how you learn, and a key role is helping you get the most out of your studies. Personal tutors can help in many ways, including: • They can help you adapt to study in British HE • They are someone you can talk things through with when you are feeling lost or behind • They can give advice on how to juggle your studies with part-time work or other issues • They can help you access extra-curricular activities to support your learning and personal development • They can help you find the right student service and help you liaise with them Your personal tutor will be a main contact within the Business School throughout your studies, and can offer advice and/or guidance on both academic and personal matters. The person will get to know you reasonably well, keep an eye on how you are doing, meet with you regularly (particularly in your first year) and be there if you need to arrange an individual appointment. They should be a source of advice for things like:

You can arrange a time to see your personal tutor whenever you like, however the Business School will have specific weeks during the course of each semester, that are dedicated to personal tutorials.

At these times it is important that you make every effort to make an appointment to see your personal tutor. There is a whole range of reasons, large and small, why you might request a personal meeting.

For example, you may simply want to check that your personal tutor is willing to be named as your referee for a vacation job, and to tell them something about it. On the other hand there may be occasions when you need to talk about an issue of an academic or personal kind, in confidence, especially if you feel that your work is being adversely affected.

You will have your first meeting with your personal tutor during induction week, who will introduce you to the process in more detail, and also give you a portfolio to complete as a record of your meetings.

After this initial meeting you personal tutor will contact you to arrange further meetings. You are expected to engage pro-actively in this process.

• How you can make best use of feedback on your work • The range of study skills guidance and support and how these resources can be accessed; • References for jobs and future study • Anything else you feel relevant • How you can be supported in taking responsibility for your learning • Discussion around option choices Your personal tutor will arrange contact with you.

This will typically be by way of a combination of small groups and one-to-one meetings. As a minimum you should expect: • Typically five meetings during your first year.

• At least two individual meetings a year at Levels 5 and 6

Turnitin Enhancing the Quality of Your Academic Writing and Referencing Being able to reference properly is an important academic skill and integral to the quality of your academic work. The University of Chichester Business School follows the Harvard Referencing system and staff in the department will provide you with guidance on how to reference work effectively.

You are also advised to visit and engage with the extensive academic skills resources available at on Moodle.

An important piece of technology at your disposal to help with referencing is Turnitin, a valuable study skills tool that can help you improve your academic writing, and in particular the accuracy and integrity of your referencing. You can submit drafts of work to Turnitin and usually within 10 minutes get a summary (called an Originality Report) which shows how much of a document is original, cited from other sources, or unoriginal. Turnitin checks against an extensive database of over 62 billion web pages, 734 million student papers, and in excess of 165 million pages to look for similarities to existing sources. You can submit further drafts, up to the point of submission, with subsequent originality reports being available 24 hours later.

Want to improve your grades in 10 minutes?

Then use Turnitin to improve the quality of your referencing Step 1: Submit a draft to Turnitin

While still retaining an important role as a webbased anti-plagiarism tool, Turnitin encourages best practice in using and referencing other people’s written material to support academic writing and critical thinking - thereby avoiding any chance of plagarism!

Help us to be green!

Your Community, Your Sustainable University You are just about to spend the next part of your life in a University which is fully committed and passionate about reducing its' impact on the environment. To us sustainability is all about ensuring you get the best education possible and in doing so, we ensure that the impacts of our activities, both locally and globally, are minimised.

Re-Usable Cups

As well as providing you with basic information which you need to help us with this goal, we also want to tell you about the many exciting and fun initiatives we have in place for you to join in with.

The University spends thousands of pounds on waste disposal from our offices, teaching areas and accommodation blocks. You can help us reduce these costs, releasing money to spend on far more exciting things, by recycling as much of your waste as possible. Last year we recycled about 42% of our general waste, but other universities are recycling over 85%, so why can’t we? Look out for the sig ns on and above the bins which tell you what can be placed in each one.

Jump Scheme We are particularly proud of our Jump scheme which encourages all students and staff to reduce their impact on the environment in return for some great prizes. As well as joining in with the scheme itself, you can volunteer as a Jump Ambassadors to help spread the word about the scheme and entice others to join. If you get involved, just think of the added skills you will have to put on your CV, enhancing your employability prospects at the end of your course! Your involvement as a Jump Ambassador will be included on your HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Record) which you will be given when you graduate as proof of your extra skills. To activate your account simply use the link below and opt into as many activities as possible to earn those all important points.

To make your student loan last longer why not save money on hot and cold drinks by using reusable cups and bottles? We have water dispensers all over the campuses where you can fill up your reusable water bottles and you can save 25p on all hot drinks by taking along your reusable cup. As well as reducing the amount of plastics potentially making their way into the oceans, you get Jump points for this as well.

Engage with Recycling

A number of events will be held throughout the year where you can get involved. Why not learn about what happens to the waste materials produced on our campuses and enter our quiz to win a hamper of goodies! Maybe you'll decide you don't need all the clothes you bought for your university life and want to swap them at our Spring fair! Maybe you'll want to join in our with our Fairtrade activities, most of wish involve eating cake!

Green Campus Group You can also get involved with our Green Campus Group which meets four times a year to discuss how we can improve aspects such as biodiversity on site, or you could be involved on a more practical basis, helping us plant bulbs or clear out ponds. We have a number of allotments available on both campuses where you can grow your own vegetables or herbs.

Surely, there has to be a limit to how many ready meals you can consume in a term and herbs make a great addition to a pizza!

Student Checklist Based on nearly 50 years of w orking w it h and sup p ort ing st ud ent s, here are our top tips to help you prepare for university. . hub.endsleigh.co.uk/checklist Tick off as you go.

Get a head start with socialising, making use of the university website, forums and Facebook pages; a great place to get to know your university and other Freshers before you go.

Work out a weekly budget; you’ll need extra money for Freshers’ and for socials, so start saving now.

Remember to get cash out before you go too, as there may not be a cashpoint on campus.

Look into student bank accounts: What’s the best interest rate? Who has the best overdraft and repayment plans post-graduation? Don’t choose a bank based only on their incentives!

Find out about Freshers' events on the uni website and make sure you’re prepared for them by sticking the dates into your calendar. Make sure you get tickets online early - before they sell out.

Pack well in advance and try to remember the things everybody forgets, such as extension leads and tea bags. Bring along personal belongings too; photos and books really liven up your room.

Don’t forget to pack your gadgets! But make sure they’re protected with Endsleigh Insurance. Gadgets are costly to replace, and could you really cope without them?

Pack some ice breakers: maybe a pack of cards, some MP3 speakers or even just a pack of biscuits or sweets; something to get the conversation started.

Leave your door open and maybe play the latest tunes, letting them drift around your halls; it’ll let others know that you’re in, with the music giving you something easy to talk about. But remember to lock your door every time you leave your room.

It’s a good idea to go around knocking on doors and saying hello. Maybe wait until you’ve met a housemate first; go around in a pair recruiting for the night ahead.

Look into taking your bike, as cycling can be the cheapest way to get around. Take a good quality lock, a good puncture repair kit and don’t forget to insure your bike with Endsleigh.

Invest in an NUS Extra Card and a Railcard. If you're not living on campus, maybe a bus pass; you’ll soon reap the rewards.

Buy duvet covers, pillow cases & towels in sim ilar colours, t his w ay you only need to pay for one wash without worrying about separating light and darks.

You need proof of age – so that’s either your driving licence or passport. You’ll need your National Insurance number if you want to work, and your NHS number which will make registering with a doctor much easier.

Key documentation to remember on your first day: • Accommodation contract • Passport photos • Passport or driving licence • Finance confirmation • NHS number • National Insurance number • Bank account details • Local map • What’s on guide • List of phone numbers • Doctor and dentist details • Exam certificates • Laptop and phone insurance • TV Licence • Discount travel cards • Address book and email contacts list
