At University of Staffordshire each school is supported by members of the Academic Skills team. Since we operate on a subject or discipline basis, different members of the Academic Skills team team will be the contacts for specific course at each partner institution. This means that if more than one school runs courses at your institution, there may well be more than one contact.

Check our Meet the team page for details of Academic Skills team members. If you are unsure who is the contact you need then email us at academicskills@staffs.ac.uk to find out!      

Once you know which Academic Skills team member is the contact for the course at your institution, why not get in touch to find out how we can help you make the best use of the University of Staffordshire eResources to help the students based at your college? The Academic Skills team are always happy to help you. Librarian colleagues at partner institutions can arrange 121s to find out all about the Staffordshire eResources.

Another option is to attend one of our partner college colleague days. These are usually held during the Summer months. Email Tracey Burrows, (tracey.burrows@staffs.ac.uk) in Collaborative Academic Partnerships if you wish to be added to the list of delegates and receive emails about forthcoming events.

Once you have a University of Staffordshire account – you can log in to Turnitin. If you are not using Blackboard, then you will need to use the direct Turnitin application. Comprehensive guides for this are available.
