	University Calendar 2006/7 Section X Tutorial Supervision	SEARCH

Every undergraduate student following a course of study at the University is placed under the guidance of a tutor. The tutor, without necessarily giving ordinary tuition, supervises the student's time-table and schemes of work and periodically reports on the student's work and progress. Students should refer to their tutor for advice and information on all matters connected with their course of study and University life generally.

If students wish to transfer from one tutor to another, they should consult the Head of their School; alternatively, they may seek the advice of the tutor to whom they wish to transfer, in which case they must also inform the Head of their School that they have done so.

Every postgraduate student is placed under the guidance of a supervisor who acts in a capacity similar to that of a tutor. In addition each School appoints a postgraduate tutor or adviser to whom a student may refer any special difficulty.
