AN ACADEMIC GUIDE FOR THE ASSOCIATE MEMBERS

The Responsibilities of the Student

1. The independent and inevitably loose structure of the tutorial system means that the student must assume certain important responsibilities. Failure to take these seriously will not only affect your own progress, but will selfishly cause difficulties to others. Briefly stated these responsibilities are as follows:
2. Keep in close contact with your tutor. Exchange telephone numbers so that you can make easy contact in case of illness or other emergencies.
3. Keep your Academic Adviser informed of any difficulties which you may experience with your academic work. Unless you bring your problems to light yourself they may fester unknown for a long while. It is your responsibility to ensure that such problems are made known as soon as possible.
4. Attend tutorials punctually at the times and on the days agreed between you and your tutor. A tutorial arrangement is one that may be broken only in the case of real emergency, such as illness.
5. Observe all library regulations assiduously.
6. Check your college mailbox frequently for messages - at least on a daily basis. You may ask a flatmate to do this for you on days when you are not in college.
7. Inform your Academic Adviser immediately of any change in your study plan.
