Welcome Week timetable
Welcome Week Information
No two courses are the same, that's why each course has its own welcome week timetable. Meet your tutors, explore the University, and prepare for the exciting year ahead. Find out what you will be doing during your first few weeks at the University of Cumbria.
Welcome Week and Course Timetables
Please note: Separate Welcome Week timetables are usually only produced for key induction points during the year. If your course starts outside of these dates you can still access your timetable through the button (above) or from the Timetables link in the Student Hub after you have completed your IT Account activation.
