Important Information
New students: upload a photograph
If you have not already done so, please upload a photograph of yourself using the e@pplicant page: https://eservices.plymouth.ac.uk/app/ following the online instructions. This photo will appear on your University Card, which is issued to you when you attend the University Card Collection session this week. Without this photo, your University Card cannot be produced.
NB: this is not required if you already have a University Card because you were previously a student on another course or at a Partner College.However, you will need to contact PAHC Reception for a new card which will entitle you to use the free bus service.
Online Enrolment
You must complete Online Enrolment as soon as possible and prior to collecting your University Card. Details of how to online enrol are here.
Part time students
Your timetable will be scheduled predominantly on Mondays and Tuesdays for the first year, apart from the placement which is full time. Whilst every effort has been made to restrict induction timetabling to your usual pattern of attendance, there are two sessions which fall outside of this, which are your uniform fitting and occupational health appointments. This is because these sessions have been timetabled to accommodate students across the whole school.
