Ahead of your arrival with us, here are some 'to-do' things and things to know!
1. Complete your registration
This one’s essential. All undergraduate and taught postgraduate students are required to complete online registration before the start of teaching. As soon as you receive your username and password, get started. If you’re unsure where to begin, there’s a step-by-step guide to help you through it.
2. Collect your student ID card
Once you’ve completed ALL stages of registration, you’ll be able to collect your student ID card. You’ll need to book a timed slot in advance, so make sure that’s done before you come to campus.
3. Join the Big Welcome
The University’s Big Welcome runs at the start of term and continues into your first weeks of study. It’s designed to help you settle in, meet people, and understand how things work at Greenwich. Expect a mix of welcome events, workshops and activities to help you feel at home and ready to go. Full details are available on the Welcome webpages and the Student Portal.
4. International Student Welcome Programme
If you’re joining us from outside the UK, the International Student Welcome Programme is strongly recommended. It’s fully online and designed to help you prepare for life in the UK, from studying here to settling into everyday life. You can access it via Moodle at a time that suits you.
5. Get your IT sorted
Make sure you’re IT-ready before classes begin. Learn how to connect to campus Wi-Fi, and access all the IT and Library support you’ll need on - and off - campus. Everything you need is available through the University’s IT and Library webpages.
6. Stay connected on social
In the lead-up to term and throughout the year, we’ll be sharing useful tips, reminders and student content on Greenwich Business School’s Instagram. It’s a great way to stay in the loop. And if social media isn’t your thing, don’t worry, we’ll still keep you updated through other channels.
7. Use the Digital Student Centre
The Digital Student Centre is your one-stop shop for support and enquiries. You can find answers to common questions, raise requests, and access documents like student status letters, all in one place.
8. Looking after your wellbeing
Your wellbeing is important to us. If you need support with mental health, counselling, disability or dyslexia services, help is available. You can explore resources through the Student Wellbeing Hub, or access support directly by making a self-referral via the Digital Student Centre.
9. Explore student life at Greenwich
Take some time to get to know the campus using our maps and travel guides, and make use of the shuttle bus between campuses. Greenwich Students’ Union also runs a packed programme of welcome events, societies, sports clubs and volunteering opportunities to help you meet people and feel part of the community.
There’s plenty more information on the University’s welcome webpages, and lots of ways to get in touch if you need help or have questions.
We can’t wait to see you soon and welcome you to Greenwich Business School :)
