Information Services (IS) activities for new students
During the first week of term we provide a range of activities to welcome new students and introduce our services so you can make the best use of them during your time here. These include:
- help with activating your email account and connecting your computer to the Student Network
- collection of Aber Cards
- Welcome talks and trail
In addition, there will be an IS stand at the Information Fair: the Student Experience at Aber in the Great Hall in the Arts Centre on Saturday 22 September 2012, 11am till 4pm.
For students whose courses start at different times of the year special arrangements can be made with the Academic Department to provide these sessions - further information is available on this page.
