For off-campus access to the Student Dashboard, please ensure that VPN is activated.

You can access data about your Tutees in the Student Dashboard, and in the 'Search for a Student' area of the Dashboard there is access to a note-taking facility via the 'Tutor Notes' button. Please note that the compulsory fields must be completed in order that your record saves correctly.

You can access data about your Tutees in the Student Dashboard here. Videos about using the Dashboard are here.

There is a guide to using the note-taking facility here. The policy on staff access to the facility is here. The note-taking facility is not a means of passing on or giving access to important information to colleagues in any department, including your own or Professional Services: existing procedures should be employed for this.

In order to obtain access to the Student Dashboard and note-taking facility for the first time, please complete the Data Protection training, and email your completion certificate to Alison Wallis.

Please note you should never discuss personal information about students which is, for example, located in the student records or revealed in the course of a Personal Tutor-Tutee meeting, with other students, College staff who do not have access themselves, or non-College members such as a student’s parents. The College has a code of practice in relation to releasing information to third parties (including parents) that includes guidance on exceptional circumstances where disclosure may be necessary.

Guidance on providing references for taught students is here.

You can direct Tutees to the Centre for the Development of Academic Skills which offers free lectures, workshops, drop-ins and 1:1 tutorials on a range of key academic skills. Students can also enrich their learning at their own pace through selected online resources as well as build employability skills through Study Abroad opportunities.
