Your Induction sessions on this day will be asynchronous, where you will have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with Canvas, the university platform that enables you to access your modules and teaching resources. Students will be sent the links and guidance in advance.

All students are asked to arrive at the Kingston Hill Campus by 9.15am.

Please go to the Lawley Lecture Theatre (see building number 12 on map) where signs will be posted to tell you which room to go to. Your first session will be with Banna Millar, the course lead, and will begin at 9.30am. You will have a session on e-safety from 12 noon to 1pm and your first lecture will take place in the afternoon from 2 to 4pm on Behaviour for Learning.

Your Induction sessions on this day will begin promptly at 9am on campus and you will meet a number of other tutors. The Freshers Fair will be held in the afternoon, giving you an opportunity to find out more about what else you can get involved in at University. Look out for additional information on the Kingston Award and the Student Hub. 

On Thursday you will have another full day on campus, starting at 9.30am. Your induction sessions in the morning will be led by the library and academic services teams, giving you an introduction to what will be required of you when completing your academic writing. In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to meet your personal tutors and your personal tutor group.  

Another full day on campus, starting promptly at 9am, will bring your induction week to a close. You will participate in a number of different sessions from various tutors and plenty of opportunity to get to know with each other, developing a strong learning community. Hopefully you will feel confident in your new surroundings by the end of this week and will have started to build up new friendships, giving you additional confidence as you embark on this new journey.

Please see respective course page for details on your first week and enrolment.

When you have uploaded evidence of the academic requirements stipulated in your offer to OSIS.

Please email education@kingston.ac.uk to notify us when you have uploaded your qualifications so we can verify them as quickly as possible. Once we are satisfied your qualifications meet our requirements, we will change your offer status to unconditional.

Please note your offer will remain conditional until you have received DBS and Occupational Health clearance. You will only be able to begin your school placement once clearances for both checks have been obtained.

You should receive the timetable for the first week shortly before you start the course. Your full first semester timetable will be made available to you following enrolment.

The Placement Team at the University will organise your school placement. It is important that you do not approach schools directly yourself. However, it would be helpful for us to know if you have past or present links with local schools. Please add these details to the School Experience Placement Form.

The University does not, and cannot, guarantee maximum journey times and distances to placement schools but does take into consideration trainees' circumstances and requirements.

Students can anticipate being placed in a school, in some cases, that is within a two-hour commute from the University as this is where our partnership schools are located.

The Placement Team usually notifies students of their placement approximately two weeks before their placement start date.

Although there are no guarantees, we will do our best to place you in a school as close to your home as possible. We need to be made aware of your circumstances so it is important that you complete the School Experience Placement Form fully and we will do our best to take your needs into consideration when placing you.
