Remember that the changes to the UWE regulations means that there is no longer a Late Work procedure!

You must hand your work in by the deadline. Non submission will result in a mark of zero. Students with genuine reasons will be able to submit Extenuating Circumstances but the grounds for ECs have been tightened this year.

There are other changes to the regs that affect students too; see - www.uwe.ac.uk/changes for all the important information.

Now that you have settled into the new academic year and your new house, we want to ensure that you are aware of the Government's Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

In short, all deposits paid under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy will need to be protected. For more information see our 'accommodation section' - http://www.uwesu.org/services_sites/advice_centre/accommodation

Any questions? Please get in touch!

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) can help students find out what information others hold about them.
