Guildhall School - Before you Leave Home Handbook 2020

Student Communication
Email & MyGuildhall
You should access your School IT account
via eGo > Account before arriving; you
won’t be able to log in without these
account details once in School and you will
need to know them when you attend an IT
Induction; to connect to School Wifi; and to
setup your Printing and Photocopying. Once
you have accessed your IT account details, you
will be able to use them to remotely access:
– MyGuildhall
– Student email account
This gives you a chance to familiarise
yourself with this information at leisure
before arriving when there will be other
activities taking up your time.
Student news & Facebook page
The Student News is emailed to all students
every month to keep you informed about
School news and student successes, and
to provide advice on topics ranging from
accommodation to study skills to healthy
living. It also includes information about
events, offers and competitions.
If you would like to contribute an article
on any aspect of student life- for example, a
review of a School performance/production,
news of recent successes, or tips for stretching
your student loan as far as possible – we want
to hear from you! Please contact studentlife@
gsmd.ac.uk for more information. You can
also keep up to date with School news, events
and the health and welfare support services we
offer via the Student Affairs Facebook page.
Information sessions and workshops
Student Affairs will offer a series of
awareness-raising events and workshops
throughout the year to provide students with
ongoing information and support to help you
make the most of your time at the School.
Recent workshops have focused on ‘Sleep
Wellbeing’ and ‘Developing Resilience, Self-
Care & Creativity in the Performing Arts.’
Money Management Advice
The Student Funding Officer provides advice
and information on money management.
They hold an introduction event at the start
of term on key Money Management topics,
which will be open to all students (but 1st
year students and students new to the UK
may find this particularly useful/relevant).
The Student Funding Officer is also available
to discuss and provide information on
sources of funding for higher education.
There are a selection of Money Management
resources available on of MyGuildhall. If
you require additional information about
a particular topic or would like to arrange
a one-to-one meeting, please contact the
Student Funding Officer.
