INDUCTION TO YOUR COURSE You will start your programme with a Welcome Week this is to help you settle into the university, your course and to meet your tutors. You will also do a variety of things that will help you get to know your fellow students and other people at the University. You will receive a full induction to the course; we will show you how to access the wide range of learning resources and support systems including course management, personal tutoring and international student support. Staff will introduce you to the learning methods, course and module expectations required. REMEMBER: If you are not clear about anything ask! We really don’t mind.
Enrolment: EVISION, WOLF & Email communication You will be required to enrol onto your course before starting to study. To enrol you will use a computer system called eVision. You can access eVison through the UoW homepage www.wlv.ac.uk , click on the button marked ‘Current students’ on the left‐hand side. You will see a link to eVision and you will then be taken through a series of steps to enrol online. Make sure you have checked your joining instructions and have the relevant information with you. It is very user friendly, but if you require help, staff will guide you through the process during induction. You will receive a student number at this stage which you will need to access other the UoW systems such as WOLF. This is your student number and is important that you remember this as you will need to note this on any correspondence and assessed work that is submitted. You are required to register for a UoW IT account as soon as possible to allow you to access the full learning facilities. At this stage you will be allocated an email address, which will enable you to communicate with colleagues and members of staff. Please note that staff will use this email account to communicate with you rather than any other personal account you may have. You will be offered options for the name of your account such as A.Student@wlv.ac.uk, student.A@wlv.ac.uk whatever address you pick make sure it is the one that you use to contact tutors and will also be the one used by the University to send you information. REMEMBER: Keep a record of your student number and your email address but do not keep any passwords with them!! Check your email ever day as you might have been sent an important message from your tutors. 20
