[Official] UClan Q&A Section Thread 2016

How would I find out the start date of pre reg nursing. Sept 16? I know nursing courses don't follow the standard uni term dates.

Hello,
I've got my unconditional offer, and also applied for accommodation to uni halls. When is moving in day at UCLan? And does everyone move in on the same day, or is there a system?
Thanks!

Hi EGCrowe,

I have received a message from the accommodation services, they ask to e-mail - [email protected]. This is so you can receive the most accurate information about your moving day.

You should get a quick reply today!

Hi Molly/Adam

Please could you explain the difference between term and semester dates?

Hi Excited,

Term dates are relative to the teaching of lecturers.

Semesters is the length of the academic year.

For example you see that term one ends on the 16th December 2016, this is before the Christmas holidays, it is the same with Term 2 and Term 3 which end before Easter and before the Summer break up respectively.

So your teaching usually ends early-mid May, but you may still have assignments/exams in Semester 3. Tutors are still available during this time, but they will not be teaching (useless otherwise stated). Most exams and assignments end early-mid May for Undergraduates (depending on what course).

Semester 3 is usually there for Postgraduate courses, since you use that Semester for Dissertation. But this were undergraduates break up for the summer holidays.

Hope that clears it up!

Adam

Where do we get parcels delivered to if your staying in Halls?

Hi EGCrowe,

Which halls are you staying in? When I was in Eden, there was a shared letterbox and everyone in the flat had access to a key. For bigger parcels, the postman would ring on your flat and you would come and collect it.


Hope this helps,

Adam

Hi, Im going to be in Ribble! if you arent in when a parcel arrives, do they take it back to the post office? Thanks

Hi, what specifically do you learn in the health and social care foundation certificate? Because I tried to look at the specification and I didn't completely understand it.
Thanks
