Maintenance

infoIf your Issue is:
How do I report a University maintenance issue like a leaking tap?

Answer:
Please report it to the Porters Lodge who will log it with the maintenance team.

Medical Centre

Our local GP surgery, Phoenix Health Group, operates a health centre on the University campus.  Students registered as patients with Phoenix Health Group will be allocated a named GP and will have access to the health centre's services. The health centre is managed by two nurse practitioners with advanced clinical training, who support students with a range of needs, for example: contraception, sexual health, long term conditions, mental health support, wound care, immunisations and minor illness. 

The nurse practitioners can also provide medical evidence for extenuating circumstances. 

The health centre offers both pre-booked routine appointments and on the day consultations, either face to face or over the phone, where students will be supported in the most appropriate way. This may involve referral to GPs or other specialist professionals.

The health centre is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and appointments are made via the Phoenix Health Group telephone number. 

Outside the health centre’s opening hours registered students can access support at the main surgeries in Tetbury and Cirencester.

To register please use the following link. New patient registration (RAU student) – Phoenix Health Group

Misconduct

academicIf your Issue is:

I've been accused of misconduct. What should I do?


Answer:
Don't panic! There might be a perfectly innocent explanation as to how you might be implicated in collusion or cheating. However, RAU take academic misconduct very seriously and if you have plagiarised, colluded or cheated in any assessed work, you can expect to be taken through the disciplinary process but hopefully in a fair and non-judgemental way. See the RAU website for the RAU Academic Regulations Part 1 Section 12. This will explain the process, the time frame and outline who can help you and how.  

The RAU Academic Regulations are available from the RAU website:

Module Feedback

academic

If your Issue is:
I'm not sure I understand my module feedback

Answer:

Contact Your Academic Support Tutor, your Programme Manager or your Module Leader for help.



Module tutor

problemIf your Issue is:
My tutor hates me!

Answer:
Oh dear! You can't really raise that with your Module Tutor then can you? This might be something you feel comfortable to speak about in confidence with your Academic Support Tutor (if they are not the Module Tutor in question!). Alternatively, you might also speak to your Program Manager. If that seems daunting, you could approach the Student Union or use the Big Yellow Button and report the matter via the Cause for Concern link. Personality clashes can arise at times, but with cooperation and determination, they can be overcome.  

You could also contact student.services@rau.ac.uk who will be able to advise you.
