Top Tips for organising Academic Skills Support

  1. Plan ahead.  Work back at least a week from assignment deadlines and book an appointment NOW.
  2. If there are no convenient times available, look at appointments for all Academic Librarians and Skills Tutors or book an email appointment to have your work reviewed.  Use the main link  from your Subject Page, but choose the email option.  This is more effective than sending an email as a slot is booked in the Tutors diary.  You will receive written feedback that working day.  This is also a good option to enable a focus for an online discussion at a later date.

REMEMBER

When using the using the online booking system, please make sure that you select your subject as Institute of Policing and NOT Policing and choose the police force you work for.  Please also cancel unwanted sessions and allow other students to book.

Need an appointment fast?

It is sensible wherever possible to make an appointment with the lead contact for your subject area.  If slots are not available when you need them consider making an appointment with the additional contacts for your area.

In the event there is still no suitable availability, go to the page for Academic Skills Appointments. From the drop-down list select whether you want a Microsoft Teams, In-person or Email appointment.  If you then select the No preference option it will give you the greatest range of dates and times to book your support.
