Think again Dear Student I am delighted to welcome you to the Faculty of Arts and hope that you will thoroughly enjoy your time studying with us. Enclosed is the provisional induction programme which we plan carefully so that our new students get to know each other and their tutors and find out about the wider services available within Hull College. During your first week, you will be provided with your timetable, practical information about locations and resources, an introduction to your course and a one-day trip with all Year 1 students and tutors. The cost of this induction week trip will be covered by the Faculty of Arts. You will also learn something about the artistic and cultural life of Hull. This is an exciting time as you will graduate in 2017, when Hull is UK City of Culture. Some details of the induction programme may change before you arrive, but updated information will be available in the Hull School of Art and Design reception area and via your tutors. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and we look forward to seeing you on Monday 15 September If you require any further information about the induction week or any other aspect of your studies, please telephone Hull School of Art and Design reception With best wishes To discuss whether you are eligible to receive financial support please contact our Student Services team on: Hull Campus Sarah Humphreys Dean, Faculty of Arts

6 Hull College Students Union is dedicated to benefiting students. We are elected from the student body and are here to listen to what you have to say. Our policies and priorities must be student-led and student focused, building open, transparent and accessible democratic structures that increase our performance and strengthen the community. We are affiliated with the National Union of Students, a voluntary membership organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of students and its member students unions. NUS is a confederation of 600 students unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education union in the UK. Through its member students unions, we represent the interests of more than seven million students. At the beginning of the academic year, we hold our annual Freshers Weeks where you can meet new friends, join societies and sports teams, find out more about the City of Hull and have some fun social evenings! Around this time, we also elect course and site reps to ensure every area of Hull, Harrogate and Goole Colleges are fairly represented. From us, you can buy the NUS cards for 12 which last for a full 12 months and can save you up to 500 in a year from Amazon to travelling. The options are endless! In addition, we also offer the PASS hologram Citizencard as an official form of ID... for free! Not only do we hold fun events to strengthen the social aspect of your student experience, but we also ensure that you are getting the best of quality while studying here at Hull College. We hold monthly rep meetings in addition with Student Voice meetings and then raise your views at Committees to ensure the College also hears your voice and takes action. We hold annual elections in the SU, giving students the opportunity to run Hull College Students Union and help develop and grow the student community. In the past, Executive Committees have been successful in campaigns such as the pedestrian crossing outside the Horncastle Building (due in place autumn 2014) and developing a rep structure that defines the roles and responsibilities of student representatives. From campaigns to activities our main focus is purely on students. mail@hcsu.co.uk Website: Facebook: Hull College Student Union
