Personal tutor system You will be allocated a personal tutor in your department soon after your arrival at Warwick. The personal tutor is a member of the academic staff who offers personal support and guidance during your degree. There s a Personal Tutor tab on your Tabula page (the online system where you submit work and keep track of your modules) so you can find out about them, connect that way and record meetings. They will contact you to set up an appointment early in term. When you meet, they will tell you more about the role and how they can support you.
Personal tutors (2) You are likely to have one mandatory meeting per term with your personal tutor, but you can also contact them any time to discuss any issues you re having, or if you re not feeling things are going as you d like them to. If you re finding them hard to contact, or are having any issues with your tutor-tutee relationship, do get in touch with your department Senior Tutor.
