Student Engagement Support Sessions

Who engagement sessions are for

These sessions are for students who have received a SEAtS email asking them to attend a Student Engagement Support Session with an Engagement Coach.

If you believe you have been sent this email in error, please contact the Student Hub or visit the Hub in the library.

Why you have been invited to attend an engagement session

You will have received an automated SEAtS email inviting you to attend an engagement session if your attendance in the previous week has been below 50%.

We know that getting to classes regularly can make a huge difference to your success, confidence, and sense of belonging at university. But we also know that life can get in the way. If you’re finding it hard to keep up with attendance, you don’t have to manage it alone, our Student Engagement Coaches are here to support you.

Our Coaches offer friendly, non-judgemental support for any student who is identified through the SEAtS registration system. They can help you:

• Talk through what’s making attendance difficult
• Find the right support services for your situation
• Create a realistic plan to rebuild your routine and confidence

You’ll find the Student Engagement Coaches in RHB Room 120.

Drop-in sessions

If you are consistently missing 50% of scheduled teaching time for one - two weeks, you will be asked to attend one of our drop-in sessions.

Drop-in sessions run Mondays and Tuesdays during term time, from 11am-4pm in RHB Room 120.

You can book a drop-in session online. However, a booking is not required, feel free to just pop by.

One-to-one sessions

Some students may be invited to a one-to-one meeting if their attendance has been consistently low for a longer period continuing into when students are put on probation due to a lack of attendance.

These sessions are designed to help you get back on track, not to punish you. They’re a chance to talk in depth about what’s going on and to agree a clear, supportive plan moving forward.
