Now’s a good time to check the University’s web pages on what to do when you arrive. Here are some of the most important tasks for new EES students:
Your timetable
You will be able to access your timetable from My Timetable which, once you have registered your IT account, you can access via iExeter. This will tell you all your scheduled learning activities for your programme, including where you need to be when.
Check that you’ve chosen your optional modules
For help with this online task, you can contact Info at Penryn. Remember that on some undergraduate programmes, students can request to take up to 30 credits (i.e. two 15 credit modules or one 30 credit module) each year outside of your main degree subject, subject to meeting the compulsory requirements of your programme. This means that as long as your request is approved, and you meet module pre-requisites, you can choose from hundreds of different modules from across the University, so it’s worth exploring your options with your Academic (Personal) Tutor at your first meeting.
Register with the Student Health Centre
It’s important that you register with Penryn Surgery when you arrive in Penryn. You can do this during ‘Move-in’ weekend in The Compass (Exchange Building, Level 1 Library), or email compass@fxplus.ac.uk to request a registration form. There are doctor clinics available with Penryn Surgery in the Tremough House Annexe, Penryn Campus, five days a week during term time. For more information about local GP surgeries click here.
Contact our Accessibility and Inclusive Learning teams if disability support is required
You can go back and find more information about this in Week 1 of this course, or click here for the University’s accessibility and inclusion web pages.
