proof of your entry qualifications, satisfactory
DBS Enhanced Disclosure certificate etc.), you
will be given full registration status. This means

have not been met by the time you register on
your programme, you will be given provisional
registration status only. This is a temporary status
which allows you to undertake study and use the
computing and library facilities, but it will not
allow you to receive any funding that may be
due to you (e.g. student loan or bursary). If you

Choose your Modules Undergraduate programmes only
You must ensure that you make your initial
module selections via e:Vision.
Your course is made up of modules. A full-time
undergraduate student is required to register
for a total of 120 module credits (usually six
modules). For some courses all the modules you
need to study are compulsory (core modules)
so there are no module selections to make. For
other courses there is an element of choice
and you will be required to select your module
preferences.
Please click on the link ‘Select my modules
2014/15’ and follow the instructions. For
detailed module information to help you with
your choices, you should refer to the programme
of study catalogue, available via e:Vision. Please
note this is an indication of your initial module
selections only and you will be required to
confirm your full selections via e:Vision by
Monday 6 October, following discussion with
your tutors.
There are two types of modules:
1.
2.
Core - compulsory modules which you
must take as part of your programme of
study.
Option - modules which you must take but
you may select from a prescribed list.
Modules are coded so that the subject area and
the level of study are identifiable. The format of
our 20 credit modules are as follows: ENG4512
The first three letters of the module denote the
academic subject area to which the module
belongs. The first number following the three
letter code denotes the level of study. The last
number denotes the credit value (a module code
ending in 1 = 10 credits; a module code ending
in 2 = 20 credits). For example, ENG4512 is a
20 credit module at level 4 from the subject area
of English.
If you require any help with module selection
please contact Student administration at
[email protected] or on 0113
2837120.

Undergraduate Degree Students
UK home and EU students are entitled to apply

information on tuition fee loans can be found at
www.gov.uk/student-finance
If you have taken out the tuition fee loan for the
full £8,500 or £9,000 you do not need to supply
any further information as Leeds Trinity will be
notified of this by the Student Loans Company.
If you are not taking out a tuition fee loan or
only a partial loan towards tuition fees, you will
be sent a tuition fee invoice by Leeds Trinity in
October 2014.
Remember, if you are eligible for the
maintenance loan and grant, the first
instalment of these won’t be paid until the
end of your first week at Leeds Trinity, so
make sure you bring enough money with you.
If you haven’t yet applied for a tuition fee
loan then you need to do so straight away by
applying to Student Finance England at
www.gov.uk/student-finance if you are from
England. If you are from Scotland, Northern
Ireland or Wales visit
www.gov.uk/student-finance now for links to
how to apply.

Important Finance and
Registration Information
Make sure you have applied for your student
funding and that you have provided your
funding body with all the information they need,
including proof of your identity, your parents’/
partner’s financial details (and evidence). If you
are unsure you should check with your relevant
funding body. Student Finance England can be
contacted on 0300 100 0607.
If you have to send anything to Student Finance
England, always send it via recorded delivery
to Student Finance England, PO Box 210,
Darlington, DL1 9HJ.
Make sure you keep a record (somewhere safe)
of your Customer Reference Number (CRN),
password and secret answer. Student Finance
England can only talk to you about your funding
if you can provide them with those details.
When you receive your ‘notification of
entitlement’ letter from Student Finance
England, check that you are getting all the loans
and grants you requested and that ‘Leeds Trinity
University ’ is the institution recorded on the
letter and that your course name is the same
as on your applicant portal. A copy of your
‘notification of entitlement letter’ should also be
posted to the ‘view correspondence’ section of
your online student finance account at
www.gov.uk/student-finance
Check that your tuition fee is correct. For fulltime undergraduate honours courses, the fee in
2014/15 is £8,500 for 3-year courses and £9,000
for accelerated 2 year degrees. If you applied
online then along with your ‘notification of
entitlement’ letter, you should receive an ‘online
declaration form’. You must sign and return
this form to the Student Loans Company (the
address should be on the top right of the form).
You must send this form to the Student Loans
Company in order for them to be able to make
the payments of your loans and grants.
If your ‘notification of entitlement’ letter shows
that you have only been provided with basic
student funding, don’t panic. This might be
because Student Finance England have not yet
been able to financially assess your parents’/
partner’s details as the information is still in the
processing queue.
If you are unsure if you have sent Student
Finance England all the required information, you
should check with them on 0300 100 0607.
Make sure (if relevant to your course) you have
completed your Disclosure and Barring Service
(DBS) check, Health Declaration and/or provided
all certificates (e.g. GCSE) that Leeds Trinity has
requested. If these things are not completed by
the start of term, your student funding cannot
be paid to you until they are completed.

Leeds
a great student city
Welcome to Leeds
Leeds is one of the UK’s largest cities and is
home to hundreds of thousands of students! It’s
renowned for its amazing nightlife, culture and
shopping, as well as being an internationally
recognised major centre of learning. So what do
you need to know about what’s on your doorstep
in Leeds?
Horsforth
Leeds Trinity’s campus is situated in Horsforth,
which is just five miles away from the centre
of Leeds. Horsforth has the best of both worlds.
It’s just minutes away from Leeds city centre by
train and Horsforth itself has all of the essential
amenities you’ll need, from bars, pubs and
restaurants, a supermarket, shops and banks. It’s
also a gorgeous, green area within easy reach
of the nearby Yorkshire Dales and other lovely
countryside, meaning there’s a chance to escape
city life and enjoy the great outdoors.
To make your life even easier, Leeds Trinity has
a free shuttle bus that takes you straight from
the campus to the amenities of Horsforth during
term time, with stops including the Horsforth
train station, the supermarket, and the pubs,
restaurants, banks and bars in the centre of
Horsforth.
Headingley and Hyde Park
Just a few miles away from Horsforth are the
legendary student hubs of Headingley and Hyde
Park. Headingley is where the majority of students
in Leeds live and congregate, and is filled with
a variety of pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants as
well as lots of student flats and houses to suit
many budgets. No trip to Headingley is complete
without a visit to The Original Oak, which has
a huge beer garden that’s perfect for those hot
summer days.
Leeds City Centre
Less than 15 minutes from Leeds Trinity by train,
Leeds is an amazing student city and whatever
your interests, you’ll be spoilt for choice with
activities when you arrive here. If you like
shopping, you’ve probably already got the city’s
latest shopping experience, Trinity Leeds, in your
sights. You’ll find all of the biggest names in
there like Superdry, H&M and Hollister, as well
as student-friendly restaurants Wagamama and
Yo Sushi, the first Everyman Cinema outside of
London and lots more. If you like your clothes
with a bit of history, you’ll find that Leeds has
a great vintage shopping scene, with fantastic
bargains to be found at shops in and around the
Corn Exchange.
Leeds is also a city renowned for its live music,
and the city centre is home to lots of great
venues, from the 02 Academy to The Cockpit.
New for 2014 is the First Direct Arena, a 13,500
capacity venue that will attract international
heavyweights to Leeds.
We could tell you about everything there is to
know about Leeds, but we’d end up filling up
the rest of this booklet so we’ll quit while we’re
ahead! To find out more, you can visit the About
Leeds section of our website here:

Student Support
There are many ways in which we can offer you support throughout your time here. You
should be aware that help is available from lots of different places if and when you need it.
Progress tutors
You will be guided through your studies by an
academic Progress Tutor. You will meet your
Progress Tutor during INTRO and catch up with
them regularly throughout the year. Your Progress
Tutor is a member of the lecturing staff who will
normally teach one of the subjects that forms
part of your course. They will be able to help and
advise you on a number of areas, including module
selection, study skills and progression through your
studies. In addition, your individual subject tutors
will provide advice and support in their particular
subject area.
Support may involve:
• requesting alternative assessment
arrangements
• liaising with tutors
• allocating a support assistant
• making minor building adaptations
Student support
Each of our degrees offers a blend of employability
skills, professional work placements, extra curricular
activities and one-to-one support. We have a
professional and dedicated Careers & Employability
team to guide you through career planning and job
search, and they work closely with employers and
business mentors. We operate a campus Jobshop
which provides information on part time jobs that
you can fit around your studies and graduate jobs
for when you leave university. To further develop
your skills, we also offer volunteering opportunities
and a business start up programme. For more
information visit: www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/careers
The Student Support Administrators are a great
starting point if you are having any problems. If
they can’t help, they can find someone who can.
Specialist services include counselling, finance
advice, careers, dyslexia, disability and health. Our
Student Advisers can provide you with information
on tuition fees, student loans and other sources
of funding, and can offer advice on budgeting and
managing debt.
The team also offers support for students with a
diagnosed mental health issue. Alternatively, you
can speak to someone within the Leeds Trinity
Students’ Union (LTSU) or your Progress Tutor.
Additional support requirements
The Dyslexia and Disability Support Services
team supports students with disabilities, medical
conditions or dyslexia. Support can include
applying for grants and/or benefits and arranging
support and assistance for eligible students. For
more information visit:

Leeds Trinity
Students’ Union
Hi guys!
We’re Miki and Neil, the President and Vice-President of Leeds Trinity Students’ Union (LTSU). Firstly, and
most importantly, welcome to Leeds Trinity! It’s our job to make sure that you have the best time here at
Leeds Trinity, with the best social activities, the best societies and the best representation. We’re also here to
make sure that your voice is heard, right from the word go.
There are four key components that make up what we do in the Union: Events, Clubs and Societies, Student
Welfare Service and Representation.
LTSU organises some really exciting activities for you guys. We organise all the LTSU nights out, as well as
alternative events to make sure that there’s always something to do for everyone. We also enter all our sports
teams into the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) league, so that you get to compete against
other universities and other students’ unions. This is a great way to get to know people, both inside Leeds
Trinity and out!
We also make sure that the student voice is heard! We take your thoughts and ideas right the way to the
Board of Governors, and make sure that we are really listened to. The students really are the centre of our
community and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Welfare is something that is so important to you guys and we make sure that in all instances you have
us there to help you out when you need us. We can help with so many different things and even have a
specialist Welfare Officer, Adam. At the end of the day, we’re here to support you, to represent you, and to put
your needs first.
If you have any questions, please get in touch on www.facebook.com/leedstrinityunion, at
www.ltsu.co.uk or tweet us @leedstrinitySU. If you’re on campus, come and find us and we’ll be happy to
talk! We’re usually in our offices just by the atrium, we can’t wait to meet you!
