The Official Ask Aston Thread

Hi I am a Muslim and throughout the day I read my daily prayers. I wanted to know are the university lenient on allowing you to leave the class for 15 minutes if you need to read prayers in the afternoon during the winter/spring hours. What if you have a practical lesson? What has anyone's experience been like?

I'm on the Blackboard but can't find any of the powerpoint presentations that the lecturers said would be on there..what do I click

Hi,

They should be listed in your modules, odds are though if you're unable to see the presentations, but can see the module your lecturer hasn't put them on yet.

ah, ok sorry >_<

I got my I.D card today and the picture is quite dark, it's hard to make out if it's me aha. I was wondering if it's possible to have a new picture taken and how much it would cost. Thank you.

Hi, I got an e-mail saying I have to pay accommodation fees by the 28th (which I knew) but when I try to have a look at paying them it tells me to login.
I haven't registered with the system so don't know what my username or password is. I can't find where to register and it doesn't come up automatically like the e-mail says. Where can I find how to register with to pay the accommodation fees?

Hi, I have enrolled today onto my 3 year degree course. On the my Aston map it says I will be finishing in 2019 and I will be having a sandwich placement year-but I'm not 100% sure whether I really want to take a placement year and feel like I'm more likely to complete the degree in 3 consecutive years, do I have to contact the Uni directly about this?

Also does the university offer any promotions to get discount for bus fares? Am I eligible for free bus pass or discounted bus travel?

Hi,

This can be done from the IT helpdesk on the ground floor, i believe the charge is around £10.

Would I need to take a picture there and then?

Yes, they do it using a camera connected to their computer. I look like a hardened criminal on mine. Don't stress it, no one looks good in identification photos.
