When should I contact my Academic Tutor?
On general academic and welfare matters the first point of contact should be the Academic Tutor. The first point of contact on specific, subject-related matters should be the relevant module tutor.
Further information on Academic Tutors.
CET has a policy that all students within the department will have a single point contact from the full time academic staff who will act as their Academic Tutor throughout their studies within CET. Academic tutor role has been defined and agreed locally and mainly involves:
•Having a single point of contact for each tutee in giving support and guidance
•Assisting tutees to find information and services
•Being aware of matters that may affect tutees academic performance and offer appropriate support
Allocation of Academic Tutors will not normally take place until two weeks after enrolment and students are therefore advised to seek help from course leaders and other academic staff. At the beginning of the academic year, any CET tutor will help you make appropriate modules choices for your course, offer advice with enrolment and provide you with appropriate timetable advice. Students must ensure their contact details such as home and term time addresses, mobile and land telephone numbers and e-mail addresses that are kept on the Institute computer (SITS) are regularly checked and kept up to date.
During the course your Academic Tutor will meet with you to discuss your progress and endeavour to assist with any problems you might have. You, the student, are responsible for ensuring that you notify your Academic Tutor of any problems you are having that affects your progress on the course. In particular, if you are absent you should inform your tutor of the reason and provide an estimate of when you are likely to resume attendance. Allocation of Academic Tutors is communicated to you by Zubair Hanslot – Operations Manager via e-mail. This information is also available from the Programme Office room C2-05.
Do not expect your Academic Tutor to tell you everything personally. Keep a DAILY check on notice boards (on D2 corridor), e-mail account and departmental website for updates and changes to timetables, room information and any last minute messages.
Material particularly related to individual modules, is often available on the internet or public directories. Your tutors will provide you with URLs/folder paths as appropriate. The Institute has invested in a managed student learning environment called WebCT which will also be used by tutors to provide information and services related to your course.
