Welcome to Northbridge. This chapter is the short version of everything that will make more sense once you are here.
Before you arrive
- Activate your student account and check the email address it forwards to.
- Complete your module registration before the deadline in the calendar.
- Upload a photo for your student card.
- Tell us about any access requirements, even if you are not sure they count.
Your first week
Orientation is on the calendar. Attendance is not compulsory, but the practical sessions on IT, the library, and student support save a surprising amount of time later.
