Teaching for our programmes in the first term of the 2021-22 academic year will be a blend of online and campus-based activity. Induction for new students follows the same pattern and consists of three parts: the Get Started at St. George’s 2021 online induction module, live online events and on-site induction.
Welcome to new students from Jane Saffell
Jane Saffell, the Deputy Principal (Education) welcomes you to St George's, University of London and sets out what you can expect from our teaching staff and facilities this year, including changes in place on campus due to Covid-19.
On-site induction
Incoming students will be invited on to campus to collect their student ID card, have an introduction to your course and the university, and to meet with Occupational Health if needed. Students should expect to be on campus for at least a couple of days in their first week. Freshers activities will be happening at the same time (restrictions permitting) so you may wish to be on campus more often than that.
Start dates for onsite induction are as follows:

Attending Onsite Induction
Please aim to arrive at St. George’s approximately 10-15 minutes before your first session. You will receive an email telling you which group you are in and therefore what time to arrive.
Use the Cranmer Terrace entrance to the University rather than coming through the Hospital itself. There is a pedestrian gate to the grounds on Coverton Road—please see the map.
You will be met by one of the team at the University entrance and directed to your session.
You may need to queue outside before entering the university buildings. As the British weather can be unpredictable, please be sure you are prepared for eventualities. Please help up to implement social distancing.
You must complete online enrolment before attending, you will receive information regarding this from the Admissions team. Please bring a reusable face covering and your photo ID (e.g. passport or driving licence).
It is a requirement that face coverings are worn in indoor public areas throughout the hospital site. You will need to wear one in lobbies and public seating areas, but masks can be removed in lecture theatres and teaching areas.
Live online events and induction module
In addition to events being held onsite, we’ll be holding some live online events to welcome everyone to St George’s before the term starts.

The team from our Student Life Centre will be hosting weekly drop in sessions online right through the induction period. If you have any questions about money, housing, disability or anything else about preparing for your course, just pop by and ask. Sessions start on Wednesday, August 25th and will be held from 12-1 pm every Wednesday in September. Links to each event appear in the online induction module. You can also
click the link here to access the sessions. You’ll need your St. George’s username and password to join.
