2.1EmailThe College provides an email address for all students free of charge and stores the address in a College email directory (the Global Address List). Your account is easily accessed, both on and off campus, via the student portal https://campus-connect.rhul.ac.uk/cp/home/displaylogin (Campus Connect) or direct via Outlook.com http://outlook.com/ Email to this address will be used routinely for all communication with students. Email may be used for urgent communication and by course tutors to give or confirm instructions or information related to teaching so it is important that you build into your routine that you check your emails once a day. Email communications from staff and all the Faculty Administrators should be treated as important and read carefully. The College provides a number of PC Labs around Campus for student use, and you can also use your own laptop/smart phone etc., so the Department expects you to check your email regularly. It is also important that you regularly clear your College account of unwanted messages or your in-box may become full and unable to accept messages. Just deleting messages is not sufficient; you must clear the ‘Sent Items’ and ‘Deleted Items’ folders regularly. It is your responsibility to make sure your College email account is kept in working order. If you have any problems contact the IT Service Desk http://itservicedesk.rhul.ac.uk/ The Classics Department will only use the address in the College Global Address List and does not use private or commercial email addresses, such as Hotmail or Gmail. Students who prefer to use commercial email services are responsible for making sure that their College email is diverted/forwarded to the appropriate commercial address. Detailed instructions on how to forward mail can be accessed by visiting http://help.outlook.com/ and searching for forwarding (you may need to use IE browser to access this as the link does not work on some browsers). This process is very easy, but you do have to maintain your College account. When you delete a forwarded message from, say, Hotmail, it will not be deleted from the Royal Holloway account. It is your responsibility to log on to your College account occasionally and conduct some account maintenance or your account may become full and therefore will not forward messages. If you send an email to a member of staff in the Department during term time you should normally receive a reply within 3-4 working days of its receipt. Please remember that there are times when members of staff are away from College at conferences or undertaking research. Outside term time staff will try to remain in email contact, but you should remember that there might be times when they will be away on research activity, or on annual leave. 2.2PostAll post addressed to students in Classics is delivered to the student pigeonholes (alphabetical by surname) located in the department. At the end of each term student pigeonholes are cleared of accumulated mail which is then destroyed. Important information from Registry is often sent by internal post and tutors sometimes return work to you via the pigeonholes so you are advised to check them regularly. 2.3Telephone and postal addressIt is your responsibility to ensure that your telephone number (mobile and landline) and postal address (term-time and forwarding) are kept up to date on the student portal (Campus Connect) https://campus-connect.rhul.ac.uk/cp/home/displaylogin There are occasions when the Department needs to contact you urgently by telephone or send you a letter by post. The Department does not disclose students’ addresses and telephone numbers to anybody else (including relatives and fellow students) without the student’s specific permission to do so. 2.4Notice boardsThe official student notice boards are on the walls in the department. The notice boards will display timetables, lists of personal advisers and their advisees, and other departmental communications. Every effort is made to post notices relating to class times etc. well in advance, but occasionally changes have to be made at short notice and in that case email will be used to inform you. It is your responsibility to check the times and venues of all class meetings and of any requirements (e.g. essay deadlines) relating to your courses, so, if in doubt, please ask! 2.5Personal AdvisersAs a student you are assigned to a particular member of staff, your Personal Adviser, who will help you to arrive at the correct choice of courses, and will keep an eye on your progress. You will meet your Personal Adviser when you arrive in your first year for Welcome Week, and at various other times during your degree with us. If you forget who your Personal Adviser is, you can easily check this on the relevant year noticeboard outside the Classics Departmental Office. Your Personal Adviser is available to assist you if any problems arise in connection with your academic work or more generally. Where your Personal Adviser is unable to help directly, please talk to the Senior Faculty Administrator who will be able to refer you to an appropriate source of help. Joint Honours students please note: you may have a Personal Adviser in the other department as well, but you are still required to see your adviser in Classics at the same times as other Classics students. Please keep BOTH your Personal Advisers informed of any changes in your circumstances or personal issues, so that they can both offer you appropriate support. Personal Advisers have a duty of confidentiality about issues raised by their advisees but also a duty of care. This means that staff have a duty to raise concerns about students who they feel may require additional support and that they are therefore obliged to contact Disability and Dyslexia Services. They will not need to disclose details of the student’s condition, but would simply indicate that some form of assistance may be appropriate. The student will have the option to refuse any assistance when s/he is contacted by Disability and Dyslexia Services. You can arrange to see your Personal Adviser or another appropriate member of staff whenever you need guidance, help or advice of any sort. You are strongly encouraged to keep your Personal Adviser informed of any medical or other circumstances that may affect attendance, completion of written work, or overall performance. Your Personal Adviser is guaranteed to be available both for routine and for urgent consultation either during consultation hours or by appointment (see 2.8); for urgent enquiries outside those times, please contact the Departmental Office You may also be summoned to see your Personal Adviser if the Department is concerned about your academic progress. In such an event, you will be required to attend this meeting. In particular advisers hold meetings with individual students for this purpose in January, at the start of the Spring Term, and again in March, at the end of the Spring Term.
