We do expect staff to reply to students in a timely fashion.
Students can help ensure this happens in two easy ways – the first is to direct their query to the right colleague (whether that is an SST or a module tutor) and secondly they can make sure they provide their full name and student number. These steps will support staff in replying effectively.

If a student feels that they have not received a reply from a member of staff within an appropriate period of time (e.g. 3 working days) then they should contact their cohort lead for support, and provide appropriate feedback on the Module Evaluation Questionnaire so that we can follow up with the specific staff.
