Email communication
You are expected to read your University email account, provided via iSaint and powered by Google (along with a calendar system and other facilities). Email is the means by which all official University messages will reach you, and you must read your email at least every 48 hours. If you do not read your University email you will miss important information about your courses and requirements. University staff will expect to be able to make arrangements with you by email and are likely to act on the assumption that you will read your email within 48 hours. You will find it efficient to arrange appointments with your Tutor, Lecturer and Adviser by email when necessary. Year Abroad students are urged to remember this and to check their University email regularly. Your SaintMail can be accessed via a web browser from anywhere in the world.
Even if you have another external email account, you must still check your University email.
