  • QMplus is our Virtual Learning Environment, which we use for almost everything; therefore, it is important that you learn how to use it efficiently. The E-Learning Unit will show you how best to use QMPlus, Q-Review and other e-learning systems for your studies.

    QMplus is the online system that Queen Mary uses to display all learning materials, lectures notes, reading lists, coursework submissions and more.

    
    

    To help you utilise QMplus for your time at Queen Mary we have scheduled a training session for 45 minutes to help you make the most of QMplus, Q-Review (lecture recordings), Blackboard Collaborate and the other E-learning platforms available at the university.
    

    
    

    It is important that you attend this session.
    

    
    

    • Monday 14th September 2020, 14:00 - 14:45 GMT (2pm to 2:45pm GMT). You can join the session here. (Please use Chrome, Firefox or Safari)

    • If you have any questions about QMplus please email maths@qmul.ac.uk or post this in the live forum and a member of staff will respond to your query.

    
    

    Please note that the training session will be recorded and available to access if you are unable to attend.

    
    

    The following video below provides a summary of all the different media types used by Queen Mary.

    
    

    
    
  • The first step in becoming an official student of the University is to complete online enrolment. This is where you provide us with your academic and personal information and upload a photo for your student ID card.
    

    For September 2020, all student enrolments will be completed online in absentia and you won't have to attend campus in order to become fully enrolled. The enrolment process is split into four (4) stages and is shown below

    
    

    Stage 1: You will receive an email from the Admissions Team inviting you to complete Online Enrolment on MySIS. 
    

    Stage 2: You should complete the Online Enrolment task. This is where you confirm with us your academic and personal information, upload a photo for your student ID card and provide us with a copy of your official identification.

    Stage 3: Academic Registry will carry out checks on the information that you have provided to us via the Online Enrolment task. If we require clarification on anything we will be in contact with you. Otherwise, we aim to fully enrol or temporarily enrol you within 5 working days. We will notify you if it will take longer than this.

    Stage 4: ID Card Collection – If you have been fully or temporarily enrolled then you will receive an email to invite you to your ID Card Collection session. This is optional and completely dependent upon your circumstances as to whether you wish to attend campus to pick up your ID card. Find out more about collecting your student ID card from campus and what you will need to bring with you.

    Student ID card Collection (optional) - Tuesday 15th September 2020, 15:15 to 15:45 GMT (3:15pm to 13:45pm GMT).

    
    

    In September and once you are fully or temporarily enrolled, you'll receive an email inviting you to collect your Student ID card during an allocated time slot. You'll need to bring this email with you to collect your card.

    
    

    While most teaching is online during Semester A, collection of your ID card is optional and completely dependent upon your circumstances as to whether you wish to attend campus to pick it up. If you do choose to collect your card, you will need to bring with you the email that you receive inviting you to attend ID card collection as it contains a personal QR code. We will scan the QR code which enables us to print your ID card for you there and then. You can show us the email and QR code either on your phone/electronic device or you can print it out. 

    Please note that if you cannot visit campus during your allotted time slot to pick up you card then we will not be able to post it to you. However, you will have the opportunity to collect it at specified times during Semester A via the Student Enquiry Centre, or in January 2021 (dates and times for collection will be communicated to you). 

    When you enrol you'll be given your student ID and access to the Library and other facilities on campus. Don't worry if it doesn't work right away; all cards should be working within an hour of activation!

  • WHAT WILL I BE GIVEN WHEN I HAVE COMPLETED ONLINE ENROLMENT

    
    

    STUDENT ID CARD

    In September, you will be invited to collect your student ID card at an allotted time. This card will grant you access to buildings, you can use it to join the gym and, if you are fully enrolled, it will let you borrow books from the Library. Please note that if you are temporarily enrolled, you will not be able to borrow books until you are fully enrolled. Find out more about collecting your student ID card and what you need to bring with you.

    STUDENT STATUS LETTER

    Once you are fully enrolled we will register you with Gradintelligence, the service provider of our official Student Status Letter. You will receive an email from ‘accountregistration@gradintel.com’ asking you to activate your account and we request that you do this as soon as possible so that you are able to self-serve and access your official Letter. The Student Status Letter can be used as a bank letter, for council tax exemption purposes and as a certificate of study.

    Find out more about the Student Status Letter including how to activate your account.

    IT ACCOUNT

    You will be sent your IT credentials via email in advance of enrolment. You can find out more information about accessing the University's Wi-Fi and your email on the IT Services Website.

    
    
    

  • 

    The Key Staff deal with most student queries in general. We will also allocate a member of academic staff as your advisor and there is a programme director for each degree programme.

    For straightforward administrative enquiries, you should normally ask in the Maths School Office first. For general academic advice, you should normally ask your advisor first, who may refer you to the appropriate programme director, the Senior Tutor or the Student Support Officer. Their roles are described below.

    
    

    HOW DO I KNOW WHO MY ADVISOR IS?

    MySIS should show your current advisor, but if you cannot find who your current advisor is then please contact the Maths School Office. To contact your advisor please see Contact Information.

    
    

    ADVISOR'S ROLE

    Your advisor's role is to give you information and advice during your studies; in particular to discuss your academic progress throughout your time at Queen Mary. You should get to know your advisor, since normally you should ask your advisor to act as a referee for job applications, etc. If possible, you will keep the same advisor throughout your time at Queen Mary. Your advisor is able to help you with any mathematical problems and also help with your module selections.

    It is normally best to contact your advisor by email initially and then arrange a meeting if necessary. It is important that you discuss with your advisor any academic, financial, medical or other problems as soon as they arise. Your advisor can then refer you to the appropriate person within Queen Mary to deal with your problem, which you may also need to report to the Senior Tutor or the Student Support Officer; see below.

    Students will be required to attend at least one meeting each Semester with their advisor to discuss academic progress and personal development aims and goals (the first meeting will take place in Welcome Week). Students will be contacted by advisors to arrange a mutually agreed date and time for the meeting to take place. Informal meetings can be arranged at any time during the academic year via email or student dropping by the advisors office.

    
    

    ADVISING CONTRACT

    The aim of the advisor-advisee relationship is to

    • foster and develop in our students a sense of value for and ownership of their education;
    • actively promote our students' involvement in the planning and achievement of their academic and career goals.

     

    RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADVISOR

    1. Be available for advisees via email and for scheduled meetings according to School policy.
    2. Help advisees to understand the academic and administrative processes of Queen Mary.
    3. Help advisees to understand the expected standards of achievement and likelihood of success in certain areas of study.
    4. Help advisees to decide on details of study programmes and give advice about modules.
    5. Be involved in discussions with advisees and other School staff in the event of poor attendance or performance.
    6. Refer advisees to other resources when appropriate, such as specialist careers or counselling advice.
    7. Provide references for current and former advisees.
    8. Read the Staff Intranet and this Student Handbook.

     

    RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADVISEE

    1. Follow email etiquette.
    2. Acquire information needed for selecting modules appropriate to your study programme.
    3. Seek the academic and career information needed to meet your educational goals.
    4. Become knowledgeable about relevant policies, procedures, and rules of Queen Mary.
    5. Be prepared with accurate information and relevant materials, such as completed forms, when contacting your advisor.
    6. Read this Student Handbook.

    
    

    ADVICE AND COUNSELLING

    The Advice and Counselling Service offers free and confidential professional services to students. International students with visa-related queries may find this service particularly helpful. The service is located on the ground floor of the Geography Building at Mile End, and is open on weekdays throughout the year, including most vacations.

    
    

    STUDENT SUPPORT OFFICER'S ROLE

    In addition to the pastoral support provided by members of the Education Services Team, the Student Support Officer is here to help you with more complex pastoral issues.. The Student Support Officer can help with advice on the technical and bureaucratic aspects of student life, and can direct you to the appropriate Queen Mary support services, such as Advice and Counselling (see above).

    The Student Support Officer is also responsible for reviewing your engagement with academic studies and co-ordinating Tier 4 monitoring, checking coursework submissions (where used in a module), and supporting the Education Services Team with more detailed advice on pastoral support.

    Further information on how the School supports students can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlIb9f-h2b4.

    
    
    

  • ARRIVING IN THE UK

    
    

    EGATES AT THE AIRPORT

    Students who are nationals of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the United States of America may be directed to enter the UK using the electronic gates (‘eGates’) rather than speaking to a Border Force Officer.

    If you are a national of one of these countries and have already applied for a visa in your home country, and this has been granted as a sticker in your passport (‘visa vignette’), you may enter the UK through the eGates. You must keep a copy of your boarding pass/flight ticket as evidence of the date that you entered the UK. You will need evidence of the date you arrived in the UK in order to enrol at Queen Mary.

    If you have not applied for a visa in your home country, and are requesting Short-term Student immigration permission on entry to the UK, you MUST NOT use the e-gates, because you will need a stamp in your passport from the Border Force Officer. If you are requesting permission as a Short-term Student on entry to the UK, you must speak to a Border Force Officer, and request a Short-term Student stamp to allow you to study in the UK.

    AIRPORT COLLECTION

    

    Due to COVID-19, we are unfortunately unable to run our usual Airport Collection service from Heathrow this year. However, there are several options that you can utilise to make your own way to Mile End campus.

    The three recommended options are:

    • Taxi - London's black cabs can be booked in advance, hailed on the street or picked up from taxi ranks. Minicabs (ordinary cars licensed as taxis) can be booked using the information on TfL’s website or via an app such as Addison Lee. You should never use an unbooked minicab. 
    • Heathrow Express and Underground: change at Paddington for Hammersmith and City Line
    • London Underground: change at Holborn for Central Line

    
    

    SELF-ISOLATION 

    If you arriving in England from certain countries which are required by the government to self-isolate for a 14 day period under Covid-19 measures. Please see the information on the Advice and Counselling Service website including which countries are affected.

    BRP COLLECTION

    If your Tier 4 leave has been granted for more than six months, you'll need to collect your BRP card from your chosen Post Office within 10 days of arriving in the UK. The nearest collection location to the Mile End campus is the Whitechapel Post Office (208A Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel, London, Greater London, E1 1BJ). For students travelling from certain countries who have to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival to the UK, the Home Office has stated that when you arrive in the UK you will not be penalised for being unable to collect your biometric residence permit (BRP) while coronavirus measures are in place. Please check the Advice and Counselling Service website for up to date immigration information.

    POLICE REGISTRATION

    You may also need to register with the police if you are of a certain nationality (check your visa sticker in your passport, your Biometric Residence Permit or Home Office decision letter). Check the Advice and Counselling Service website for information on how to register. 

    
    
    

  • What we're planning for Welcome & beyond!

    

    Welcome Week is all about bringing people together, creating friendships, helping you settle in and introducing you to everything life at Queen Mary has to offer, and this year will be no different. However, it’s been a challenging time for everyone for lots of different reasons and we’ve all had to make some changes along the way, including here at the Students’ Union. We’re sure you’re both nervous and excited to begin your journey here, and you’re probably keen to find out a bit more about what we’re planning for you, so we’ve put together this post to let you know what we have planned for you this Welcome Week.

    We’ve been working hard to make sure you receive an unforgettable welcome to Queen Mary whether you’re planning to join us from home or in our great city of London. We’ll be posting lots of updates between now and when you arrive so sign-up to our mailing list, follow-us on social media and check our website as like everything right now, plans may have to change!

    Who we are

    If you haven’t checked out our welcome page yet, here’s a brief intro about the Students’ Union! We’re a student-led organisation that is the voice of all Queen Mary students. Every student is automatically a member and has a say in how we are run through elections and student representatives. Together, we improve students’ lives by creating change, working to improve your experience at University by representing your views, supporting your development and wellbeing with on-campus services and providing you with hundreds of activities and events throughout the year.

    Find out more about us on our Welcome page here.

    Events, activities and Sport

    We know both new and returning students enjoy our Welcome events and activities, and see them as a great opportunity to meet new people, try something new and have fun. They’re a big part of an unforgettable Welcome Week and we’ll be launching a programme of events online, on-campus and some that offer both. We’ll be hoping to let you know the full line-up at the start of September, but wherever you are you’ll be able to get involved. Be the first to find out by signing up to our mailing list here or joining the Official Freshers' Facebook group.

    We’re also developing our services so we can continue to offer you opportunities both online and on campus to volunteer in the community, take part in sustainability projects or participate in creating change together with our student representatives. We’ll also be running campaigns and celebrations throughout the year, starting with Black History Month in October.

    We also know keeping fit and healthy on-campus is important to many of you. Because of this we prioritised re-opening Qmotion Sport & Fitness Centre which is already re-open, and have now started daily online classes open to everyone to try out at home. We are currently adapting our sports programmes to ensure they are safe for everyone and comply with the current UK government and UK Active industry guidance. Social distancing requirements may mean some sports are not immediately available, or session capacities reduced – but we are committed to continuing to provide sport and wellbeing activities in a safe environment for all students and staff.

    Clubs & Societies

    Our Clubs & Societies are a big part of thousands of students’ Queen Mary experience; things would simply not be the same without them! These student-led groups provide incredible opportunities, bring people together and offer students the opportunity to try something new, spark new interests and develop skills.

    We are home to over 250 diverse Sports Clubs, Societies, Student Media outlets and Volunteering groups who will all be active. Our groups are eager to get started, are ready to welcome you and want to help you get stuck in to Queen Mary life.

    Many of our groups will be offering opportunities and experiences online, on-campus and in London throughout the first Semester, so you can get involved wherever you are and not miss out! We’re working with them to ensure all their planned activities are safe for you and comply with current government guidance. You can join many of our Clubs & Societies right now, click the links to find a group for you: Societies, Student Media, Volunteering

    Welcome Fair

    This year we’re working hard to bring you our first ever online Welcome Fair! We’ll also be running a series of Welcome Markets throughout the first couple of weeks and popping-up around campus during Arrivals Weekend – so wherever you are you’ll be able to meet us. These events are your chance to find out more about the opportunities at Queen Mary, talk to our Clubs and Societies and grab some freebies. These events will be one of the highlights of September and October so check back soon for further information.

    Our places & spaces 

    Our places and spaces on the Mile End, Whitechapel and Charterhouse Square campuses are important community spaces for all students. For students joining us on campus we know how much students value them for meeting and catching-up with other students and friends, studying, relaxation, working out, activities, events and prayer and contemplation.

    We’ve been carefully planning how to open our spaces safely for you and our staff teams and are now ready to greet you and welcome you back. Currently, we plan to open most of our on-campus spaces in September, albeit with reduced capacity, whilst continuing to expand the online services we provide through a brand new website – coming soon!

    Our cafes, bars and shops, Students’ Union Hub building and BLSA Building will all be open in time for Welcome Week. Qmotion, our Sport & Fitness Centre on the Mile End campus, and the Village Shop have also re-opened. Like everything right now, some changes have had to be made to make sure we have all the necessary things in place to help keep you safe, watch our 

     to find out more. You’ll find social distancing measures, clear signage, hand sanitiser stations and new online ways of ordering food and drink in our outlets. Plus, they’ll be enhanced cleaning all day.

    You can read more about the plans for our places and spaces, and what you can expect when you visit here.

    Remember, we’re a registered charity so every penny of profit from our venues is reinvested into the activities, campaigns, support services and opportunities we provide to you.

    Student Voice

    Last year we introduced new school representatives, faculty-based Executive Officers and new ways for students to get involved, have their say and create change. During Semester one all of our student meetings, such as Student Council, will be moving online. Welcome Week will also see nominations open for our Autumn Elections. You could be one of our next Course Representatives, representing the students on your course, or one of our part-time officers on Student Council. Look out for details during Welcome Week! You can run whether you are planning to study at home or on campus.

    And finally…..beyond Welcome Week

    Whatever happens this year, we’ll be here for you. We’ve had to change a lot since we moved our services and support online. During the past few months we’ve learnt a lot about the best ways of continuing our services online, and these online options will continue and increase next semester. So, we’ll still be here representing you, supporting you, creating change and offering lots of activities that help you to form friendships and communities of your own. Please keep in touch, let us know if there’s something you think we should change or do differently and look out for our updates. We cannot wait to meet you all!

    QMplus is the online system that Queen Mary uses to display all learning materials, lectures notes, reading lists, coursework submissions and more.

    
    

    To help you utilise QMplus for your time at Queen Mary we have created a video below to help you make the most of QMplus, Q-Review (lecture recordings), Blackboard Collaborate and the other E-learning platforms available at the university.

    
    

    QMPlus is Queen Mary's virtual learning environment and it will be one of the first things you log onto as a student.

    
    

    We recommend you become familiar with it before you start your degree programme, particularly as so much of our teaching will initially take place online. To login you will need the username and password which has been provided to you by IT Services via QMplus (qmplus.qmul.ac.uk).

• Buddy scheme
  • Buddy Scheme

     

    Before you arrive in a couple of weeks’ time, we wanted to tell you about the Queen Mary Buddy Scheme which has been helping our new incoming undergraduate students settle into university life and form new friendships and networks quickly for several years now.   

    Starting university can leave you with a lot of questions, many of which current students are the best equipped to answer! Buddy Scheme mentors are trained to support our new students settle into life at Queen Mary, helping to unburden some of your worries, making sure you truly enjoy your time with us.  

    Why have a mentor?  

    Feeling positive and happy! Knowing that you have someone you can rely on can have a major impact on your academic performance – having a mentor can play a huge role in this, as it can help you:  

    ·        Meet new people from your course and the University; 

    ·        Learn more about the University and local area; 

    ·        Gain practical advice, encouragement and support; 

    ·        Help you to get involved with Students' Union activities such as events and societies and 

    ·        Signpost you to services on campus.  

    How does it work?  

    To be matched with a mentor, you will need to spend no more than 5/10mins completing the online mentee application form via the link below:  

    https://qmul.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/qmul-buddy-scheme-mentee-application-202324

     

    The online mentee application form deadline is TBC.

     

    Then keep an eye on your inbox over the next couple of weeks, as your mentor will be sending you an e-mail to arrange your first meet up. Don’t worry if you miss this e-mail, either send your mentor a message and they will add you to the next meet-up or email the Buddy Scheme team at: buddyscheme@qmul.ac.uk. 

     

    After that, your mentor will contact you weekly (to begin with) to see how you're getting on and answer any questions you might have. They will also organise meetups over the course of the academic year for you attend. This is where you will be able to get some tried and tested tips and tricks from current students, meet new people and get signposted to support when you need it. 

     

    Please email us at buddyscheme@qmul.ac.uk if you have any questions. 

     

    Best wishes,

    ROLES OF THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION and DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION

    The Director of Education oversees all taught programmes and takes primary strategic responsibility for programme development and resource allocation. The Deputy Director of Education takes primary operational responsibility for undergraduate programmes including student information and quality assurance.   

    GETTING HELP

    If you have administrative or technical questions relating to a specific module then you should approach the module organiser, either at the end of a lecture or in the module organiser's office hours; see Contact Information. Many undergraduate modules, especially in the first year, have tutorials, exercise or computing classes, where you have an opportunity to ask questions of the teaching assistants (who may range from graduate students to senior academic staff). Some module organisers may also provide additional support for students who are finding the module difficult – ask about this if necessary.

    PASS (PEER ASSISTED STUDY SUPPORT)

    • PASS offers help with all first-year undergraduate maths modules to smooth your transition from school or work to university study.
    • It consists of friendly drop-in study sessions run by student mentors who have successfully completed the first year.
    • You can also pop in and talk about anything related to university life (e.g. where something is on campus).

    Student mentors are volunteers who are keen to share their knowledge and experience to help you succeed. We train them to run effective PASS sessions. A student mentor explains:

    PASS sessions are more like discussion groups than exercise classes. The mentors encourage you to have discussions amongst yourselves before asking for help.

    For further details contact TBC, see the PASS posters around the Mathematical Sciences Building.

• PASS (Peer assisted study support)
  • PASS is Queen Mary's course-based mentoring scheme, run for students, by students.

    How does it work?

    

    PASS is run by higher-year students in the same Academic School as you. As a first-year student, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss study-related queries and get course-based advice from trained mentors within your School.

    What are the benefits?

    

    The scheme offers a valuable and complementary addition to the wide range of more formal teaching and support offered to students at the University. Here are a few students' perspectives on the benefits of attending PASS sessions:

    • Being able to learn in an environment where they were comfortable to ask questions
    • Accessing one-to-one help from students who had completed modules they were taking
    • Knowing that they would always have a place to find help
    • It was useful to be able to learn from those who had already lived the same experiences
    • Knowing mentors were easily approachable and empathetic to students' concerns.

    Being part of the PASS programme will allow you to:

    • gain academic advice and support
    • meet other students from your school in your year and beyond
    • learn about the academic culture within your school
    • be part of an internationally renowned mentoring programme.

    How do I take part?

    

    The scheme is firmly established at Queen Mary, with 14 departments/schools running regular sessions. To find out whether the scheme runs within your School, please check on the PASS webpage. Further information on who to contact and sessions details can also be found here.

    Any other questions?
