New Postgraduate Research students joining in January or April 2013 should follow the guidance below:
1. Complete online registration
You will receive an email from the University after your place on a research programme is confirmed which will provide you with details of how to access your University IT account - these will start to be sent out to joining students about a month before the research programmes begin. Setting up your IT login and password will allow you to access and complete the online registration process and apply for your campus card. You should complete these tasks before arriving at the University.
2. Attend your registration event
The Postgraduate Research Students Office has organised a registration/induction event which you must attend. Attendance at the event will complete your part of the registration process as a student of the University and ensure that you receive full access to University resources. The dates of the January and April events are as follows:
Here is the induction programme for January 2013 arrivals.
3. Read through and follow your registration/induction programme
After you have completed online registration you will be enrolled on a virtual learning environment called Blackboard. Go to The Portal > Academic > My Modules. The ‘Postgraduate Research: Information for New Students’ Blackboard site will provide more information about PGR programmes at UEA, including University policies and regulations. Because of the Christmas/New Year holidays we may not be able to enrol you until 02 January 2013.
4. Look though the information for new postgraduate research students
When you join the University you will receive specific faculty information for postgraduate research students. You will also have online access to the regulations, policies and procedures governing research programmes.
5. You may have to register with the University Medical Service
If you are a full-time student here for six months or more you are required to register with one of the doctors in the University Medical Service (UMS) or with a local General Medical Practitioner (GP). To find out how to register, visit the UMS website at UEA Medical Services. You are advised to complete the registration forms before arrival at UEA and bring the forms with you to register with the University Medical Service. Please do not post them to the University.
