4. 6 7
Your timetable covers all the teaching sessions for your course. You
can view your individual timetable by logging into your e:Vision
account and selecting ‘MyTimetable’ from the top navigation.
This will take you to the following screen:
Selecting ‘My Timetable’ on this screen will display your
timetable as seen here:
APPEALS
The most important thing to realise here is that, unlike level 3
assessments (A2, BTEC, etc.), students in higher education cannot
ask for a remark. Higher education work is routinely subjected to
a process of second marking and then a sample of marked work,
including all fails, is also approved by an external examiner at
another university.
However, if you think something has gone wrong in the process
of assessing your work, you may want to raise this with us.You
should locate the university’s Appeals Procedure on the Infozone
and talk to your development tutor or someone in the Student
Support office.
In brief, there are three University stages of appeal: early
resolution by the respective departmental Chair of Panel of
Examiners, formal appeal and review of appeal.
COMPLAINTS
Leeds Trinity has a very low level of complaints and we work hard
to put things right wherever possible.You can find the Complaints
Procedure on the Infozone and it is best to talk to someone in
the Student Support office, particularly if the matter relates to
(cyber-) bullying or harmful threats.
For other matters, it is good practice to attempt to resolve
matters quickly and directly (sometimes termed “informally”
although it is never easy).This means, first of all, you should try
to bring the matter to the attention of whoever is responsible,
in your view, and can probably put it right most quickly. If this
is not satisfactory, you can submit a written complaint (email).
However, we will again try to resolve it “informally” at first by
making enquiries and encouraging dialogue. If your complaint
is about other student(s), we will discuss whether mediation is
possible and appropriate.
TIMETABLES ATTENDANCE, APPEALS AND
COMPLAINTS
Some courses are not yet covered within the e:Vision
provision, timetables for these departments are provided via
their departmental intranet sites or departmental offices.
These courses include:
• Secondary Education
• Postgraduate
If you require help with any aspect of your timetable,
please contact the timetabling team on 0113 2837 197.
All these dates are available on the intranet pages.
ATTENDANCE
Why would we check your attendance?You might say that
since you are paying the full cost of your degree it should be
entirely your concern whether you choose to attend classes.
However, there are good reasons for us to keep a record.
Firstly, there is research evidence that students who attend
regularly get better degrees and we want every student to
do as well as possible.We care about your investment and
our reputation.
Secondly, group discussions, practical sessions and
projects (which real work is full of) are ineffective with
poor attendance.We care about all students getting good
experience for employment. And finally, absences may be
a sign of personal problems affecting work and we may be
able to help. If your attendance (including brief appearances)
is a cause for concern, we will be in touch.
Please do not use social media to make complaints.
Please bring any complaints directly to our attention so
we can start to resolve them.
If you have a problem with your university
accommodation, you can report it online to maintenance.
To do so visit the intranet homepage and select ‘Fix My
Accommodation’ on the right hand side.

5. 8 9
REFERENCING
It is crucial in academic writing to make clear what is your own
work - thoughts and words - and what is other people’s. Failure to
do so could land you in deep trouble (see below).
This is because it is also crucial to demonstrate that you have
read around the topic and understood existing evidence and
arguments. In other words, you are expected to include other
people’s work. But you must make it clear that it is their work
by showing it as a quotation (maybe even to the extent of using
separate lines and spaces) and including a reference to the author
and the publication. Even when you paraphrase or summarise
other writing you should acknowledge it with a reference.
Leeds Trinity University has adopted the Harvard referencing
system for all programmes except for Psychology.You can find
webpages on referencing on the Library website on the intranet.
AVOID PLAGIARISM
Above all, you need to avoid plagiarism, an ugly word for the
worst academic crime – giving the impression that other people’s
work is your own.You have not kept their words safely separated
from yours.
Plagiarism is like a textually-transmitted disease which happens
when people are sloppy or lazy about referencing, or rushing and
taking a chance. At its worst, it involves stealing other students’
work (from shared computers, files etc.) or purchasing essays
from a cheat site.
If you are referred to the Academic Misconduct Panel and deemed
guilty, you will certainly be required to resit a module for a
maximum mark of 40 which will affect your overall classification
(2.2 etc.). In serious cases, students have been expelled.
PRIVATE STUDY
The most significant part of your degree course is private study.
(In fact, in traditional universities it’s called reading a subject
rather than studying it.)
The total study time for a standard module is set at 200 hours of
which just 40 is in taught sessions. In other words, you need to
put in 160 hours for each of the five academic modules in Level 4.
To spare you the maths, this works out roughly at half your spare
time every day to be spent on getting stuff to read, reading it,
making notes and writing up assignments.
Protecting your time, and getting others to respect it, is probably
the most valuable skill you can develop this year.
BOOKS
There is research evidence of a correlation between high
attainment and book purchasing (rather than trying to get by
with library borrowing).
It stands to reason that if you own key texts, you always have
access to them, you can highlight them, underline and write all
over them.
ASSESSMENTS
You should double-check all assignment and assessment details
as issued in your module handbook and/or on Moodle.
General assessment requirements will be published in your
online programme handbook and the academic regulations in the
intranet Infozone.
ATTAINMENT AND ASSESSMENTS REFERENCING AND PLAGIARISM
TO AVOID ANY REFERENCING OR PLAGIARISM ISSUES PLEASE FOLLOW
THESE GUIDELINES:
• When making notes, start with the details of each book, article or webpage which you are using
• If photocopying, copy the title page (with author and publisher) and write the date of publication on the copy
• Be careful to distinguish in your notes between exactly copied words and your own summary statements
• Exactly copied words will need to be “quoted” when in your essay…
• Keep your files off your hard drive so you can lend a laptop in safety (and in case the laptop crashes or gets stolen)
• And remember:There is no good reason for a friend to want to see your actual essay rather than hear your advice.
SUMMARY OF THE POLICY ON
RECORDING TEACHING SESSIONS
Students who find it helpful to make audio recordings
to gain the best outcome from teaching and learning
activities are permitted to do so, provided that certain
legal precautions are taken. No visual recording, by phone
camera for example, is permitted.
Students are entitled to audio record for personal
purposes only.The entitlement only applies to a student
who is present to make the recording in person; making
recordings for students not present is not permitted.
If a lecturer points out that certain elements of a session
are copyright protected (e.g. the audio track of a video)
then recording must stop. Recording other students in a
group discussion should only proceed with their consent. A
lecturer may request that recording not take place if it will
inhibit genuine response to sensitive topics.
Neither recordings nor extracts should be posted on
websites, copied, passed to or shared with any other
person, except for transcription purposes. Quotations
from recorded content must be appropriately referenced.
Breaches will be punished.
The full policy may be viewed on the intranet Infozone.
YOU DESERVE A 2:1 WHEN
• Your knowledge and understanding is secure with
reasonable application to the question
• The structure of your argument is well-focussed on
the question with clear connections made between
claims and some overall direction
• Your analysis and conclusions are strong with
salient illustrative examples and some general
conclusions drawn
• You draw on relevant sources and evidence to
support claims
• Your referencing is consistent and accurate
• Your writing style is clear and coherent
These assessment criteria are taken from the University’s
Generic Marking Criteria for Undergraduate Assessments.
The full matrix including three types of First Class mark
can be found on the intranet.

6. 10 11
COUNSELLING:
The support we offer can include:
• A safe place where you can talk, in
confidence through anything that is
on your mind or troubling you
• Space and help to explore your options
and possibilities - perhaps a chance
to live and work more happily and
effectively
• An opportunity for you to make your
own decisions and work out your own
solutions.
• Telephone and email support when
face-to-face work is not feasible
• A promise that your views and
opinions will be respected
• A substantial amount of self-help
material via our intranet pages
DYSLEXIA SUPPORT:
The support we offer can include:
• Screening for dyslexia
• Specialist tutorials
• Liaison with academic departments
about individual support needs
• Arranging for learning materials to be
produced in alternative formats
• Extended library loans
• Alternative assessment arrangements
e.g. extra time in examinations
STRUGGLING
WITH MONEY?
Leeds Trinity has a student hardship
fund which may be of assistance.The
hardship fund is open to most students
and can particularly help the following:
• Final year students
• Students with children
• Students with a disability
(that prevents them from working)
• Some other priority groups
To find out more visit the Money Matters
pages of the Leeds Trinity intranet or pick
up an application form and guidance notes
from the Student Support Centre.
The fund is limited and no awards can
be guaranteed
EXTENSIONS
If a sudden crisis happens just before an assignment
deadline, you should contact the module coordinator or your
development tutor or head of department immediately by email
or in person, explaining the circumstances and requesting an
extension. It is open to the department to grant an extension of
up to five days. However, this is entirely a matter of judgement.
To respond quickly, the department does not (need to) ask for
independent evidence but the crisis does need to be something
beyond your control and significant. An extension is likely to
be refused if it is really just a matter of poor time management
(including having several deadlines together) or computer or
printing or transport problems.
DEFERRED OPPORTUNITIES
If it is clear, much earlier, that a continuing problem is affecting
your ability to study and complete work, then you should discuss
this with your development tutor or come into Student Support.
This is likely to be a physical illness or injury or ongoing mental
health issues, such as depression, for example from bereavement.
In these situations, it might be in your best interests to postpone
your assignments for a while.This is known as a DO, a Deferred
Opportunity, for which there is an application form.You are likely
to have independent medical evidence of some sort already or you
can get a doctor’s note to confirm the situation.Assignments can
be deferred within the same academic year. Postponing longer than
that is problematic for progression and in order to protect your
future student funding it might be better to suspend your studies
and take temporary withdrawal.All of these can and should be
discussed with your development tutor and/or Student Support.
If you experience particular circumstances, other than disability for which there is specialist advice and support, which make
submitting assignments difficult or impossible, there are three ways in which the University will try to help.Whatever your
problem, large or small, please feel encouraged to discuss it with your development tutor or Student Support.
EXTENSIONS, DEFERRALS AND
MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES
STUDENT SUPPORT
STUDENT HEALTH OPENING HOURS:
Student Health is open from 8.30am – 4.00pm. Please note “drop in“ sessions are held to make GP appointments and for general
queries between 10.00am and 12.00pm on weekdays, during term time or by email: l.green@leedstrinity.ac.uk.
In an Emergency only, if the Health Adviser is not available, please go to the Reception.You could also email the Health Adviser
on l.green@leedstrinity.ac.uk or leave a message in the post box outside her office.
MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES
As a final safety net, there is a mitigating circumstances
procedure.There are two main reasons for applying for
consideration of mitigating circumstances.The first is that a crisis
erupts just before an examination disturbing your concentration
or even making it impossible to sit the exam. Obviously the exam
cannot be postponed so it would be appropriate for you to raise
this situation through the Mitigating Circumstances Procedure.
The second is that for various reasons you consider that your
academic performance earlier in, or throughout, the year has been
affected but you could not have brought it to the attention of the
University at the time. Examples of this might be a diagnosis of
something which it now appears started much earlier or perhaps
mental health issues which prevented you seeking appropriate
timely advice. If the University considers that you could have
applied for a DO then it will not take mitigating circumstances
into account.
You should also be aware that the University does not adjust
marks no matter what the mitigating circumstances.The most
frequent outcome of consideration of mitigating circumstances is
to permit a further re-assessment (like a resit but without the cap
of a mark of 40).

GETTING INVOLVED Get social

SOCIAL NETWORKING
Social networking sites, blogs and Twitter are useful tools. Students are, however, requested to use such sites carefully. Leeds Trinity
would not wish to inhibit freedom of expression, but students are reminded that any libellous, defamatory or personally abusive
comments about other students or about staff or the posting of images of individuals without their consent could be viewed as
bullying/harassment.
Leeds Trinity University will not seek in any way to monitor the use of such sites, but if issues of concern are raised by individuals, it has
a duty of care to investigate and take appropriate action. In the first instance, this would typically be a request to remove or amend the
relevant text or images.
However, if this request does not lead to a resolution, Leeds Trinity University reserves the right to take action under the Student
Disciplinary Procedures. If students have genuine concerns or complaints about their course or any other provision from Leeds Trinity
University, the most effective route to having these addressed is to use the Complaints Procedure.
