New Arrangement on SMS and Email: for communicating urgent messages to students

The School generally communicates urgent notices to students via SMS and/or supplemented by email. With effect from 1 July 2010, it has been determined that these two channels would become the official means of communication between the School and the students on the grounds of efficiency and effective communication. In cases of unexpected circumstances in class administration such as cancellation of classes, the School will send urgent messages via SMS, and supplement by other means such as email (if the need arises), to students for their immediate attention. Students who have formerly elected to be informed by alternative means will continue to receive urgent notices from our programme staff according to their preference until the end of the current intake of their programme or until 30 September 2010, whichever is earlier. Students with genuine difficulty in receiving urgent messages by SMS should contact the programme teams for separate arrangements.

In order to implement this change, it is necessary to ask you to provide an up-to-date mobile phone number and your email address to the School. The vast majority of students have already done so but if you think you have not, please update your contact details, in particular, your mobile phone number and email address, by logging in the Learner Portal or by filling in and submitting the Application Form for Personal Data Amendment to the School.
