Your UAL Email Account By now, you should have set up your UAL email account using instructions emailed to you by ASA. It is extremely important to CHECK THIS EMAIL ADDRESS REGULARLY BOTH BEFORE YOU GO AND DURING THE SEMESTER because LONDON Site-Specific Guide, Page 2 instructions for Online Enrolment and other important messages will be sent there. • You can log into your UAL Email Account here: http://outlook.com/owa/lcc.arts.ac.uk • Your username is your UAL Student ID # and your password is DD/MM/YYYY (including the forward slashes). Once you have logged in, you can change your password. Online Enrolment Enrolment is the process by which you officially become a matriculated student at UAL. You’ll complete Online Enrolment before departure, as well as Face-to-Face Enrolment after arrival. You will not be able to attend class if both these steps aren’t completed. IMPORTANT: You will receive an email to your UAL email account, inviting you to complete Online Enrolment. The SUBJECT LINE of this email will be “UAL Essential Info: Enrol Online.” It is crucial you find this email and follow the instructions for Online Enrolment prior to departure. (NOTE: If during Online Enrolment you are asked to make tuition or accommodation payments, please ignore and forward the request to ASA.) Then, you will complete final step of Enrolment after arrival, which is Face-to- Face Enrolment. For Study Abroad Students, this usually takes place on UAL’s Study Abroad Welcome Day. Be sure to BRING YOUR PASSPORT to Welcome Day, as it is required for Enrolment. Once you have fully enrolled, your personalized Timetable (class schedule) will become available to you in Moodle. You will also be sent an “iCal” link which you will be able to subscribe to on your calendar systems on your computer, tablet and phone. Note that as student groups fill up, it may be necessary for the Timetables to change slightly to accommodate the balancing of group sizes, so check your Timetables regularly in case of any changes. Passport and Visa All students must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the day you plan to return to the U.S. LONDON Site-Specific Guide, Page 3 Obtaining your Standard Visitor Visa: If you are studying in the UK for one Semester or a Summer program, you will need to pack the following documents in your carry-on. When you arrive at immigration you will see the option to go through eGates (electronic-only kiosks) or see an immigration officer (an actual person), BOTH options are fine. If you see an immigration office they will ask to see the below documents. If you go through the eGates, you will not have to present the documents. 1. “Standard Visitor Visa Letter” from UAL and “Standard Visitor Visa Letter” from ASA (addressed “TO: The UK Border Agency.”) Both will be E- MAILED to you prior to departure. 2. Valid passport that does not expire for at least 6 months after the day you plan to leave the UK. Check your passport’s expiration date! 3. Proof of funding for your stay in the UK. Your Standard Visitor Visa Letter from ASA confirms that you have met your financial obligations with regard to tuition (course fees) and accommodation for the full term of your studies. However, you must also provide proof that you have enough money to live on during your stay: minimum of £1,334 for each month of your stay in the UK; present traveler’s checks OR bank statements from you or your parents. 4. Round trip plane ticket. (You will not be allowed to enter the UK on a one-way ticket.) 5. Air Tickets/Boarding Pass/Flight Itinerary. When you enter into the UK it is likely you will be funneled into the eGates which are electronic immigration kiosks designed so that you don’t necessarily see an immigration officer (a live person) when you land in the UK. You will not receive a stamp in your passport showing the day you entered the UK which is vital information for your UK university to enroll you in courses. So, you must keep your air tickets, boarding pass, or flight itinerary because your university will need to see it. Documenting your exact entry dates into the UK is part of your host university’s process of finalizing your registration before you can begin your courses. Don’t be surprised if an Immigration officer asks you: 1. What is the purpose of your visit to the UK? 2. Where are you studying in the UK? 3. Have you got a letter from the University? 4. Where are you living in the UK? 5. How much money have you got to study in the UK? LONDON Site-Specific Guide, Page 4 Every time you leave and re-enter the UK during your semester abroad, you may be asked to present the above-listed Visa documents when you re-enter. Don’t discard those documents! For complete details about getting your Standard Visitor Visa and the paperwork you need to bring, follow this link and select Student Visa Info for the United Kingdom. What should I do if I lose my passport? Contact the local police, the U.S. Embassy, and your Site Director immediately. Having a photocopy of your passport on hand will make it MUCH easier to have it replaced. U.S. Embassy: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/how_to_find_us.html Budgeting for your Trip The currency in Britain is the pound sterling (£), which is divided into 100 pence. The banknotes are worth £50, £20, £10 and £5; the coins £2, £1, 50p (50 pence), 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p. Exchange rates fluctuate, so check http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi for today’s exchange rate.

  • LONDON Calling
    VISITING CAPITALS 72 hours in London Friday 1 BERMONDSEY MARKET Half car boot sale, half chic Parisian flea market, Bermondsey market is the place where the dealers come to stock up on china, silver, furniture and glassware. Located in Bermondsey Square, a stone’s throw from The Shard, the market boasts 200-odd stalls, now also including food, fashion and craft. Dealers frequent the market knowing it is the best place to find quality antiques and interesting artefacts and every visitor who makes a bargain deal will understand why they keep it a secret. Discover timeless antique china alongside Victorian photos, rare furniture with mystic engravings and perfect retro decor for your home. And if you are in the market for glassware, these age-old streets will certainly also provide. But, be warned, arrive early; deals are done quickly and vendors begin packing away in the afternoon. And with no tube lines running at this time, research a bus route or even book a taxi.

  • Mercados De Londres
    MERCADOS DE LONDRES Información bajada de las páginas: http://www.visitlondon.com/es/cosas-que-hacer/de-compras/mercado/3 http://guialondres.es/guia-rapida A quienes se agradece !! La info puede no estar del todo actualizada. Los mercadillos de Londres son una de las partes fundamentales de la vida de la ciudad. Le dan un movimiento especial, diferente, y nos abren las puertas del mundo de la segunda mano, las antigüedades, la moda vintage y los nuevos diseñadores, por poner algunos ejemplos. La capital británica no sería la misma sin estos lugares tan inspiradores, por eso hoy nos vamos de paseo por los street markets más icónicos de Londres. Portobello Road Market Pocos mercados tienen el encanto y la versatilidad que tiene el mercado de Portobello. Y es que llevar en activo desde el siglo XIX tiene su mérito, y se traduce en la enorme variedad de artículos que podemos encontrar. Desde fruta y verdura, hasta productos gastronómicos ingleses, pasando por las antigüedades que le dieron su merecida fama allá por los años cincuenta, y terminando en la clásica ropa vintage. Los mejores días para ir son viernes y, sobre todo, sábado. Eso sí, id con tiempo para recorrer todos los puestos y paciencia para los tumultos. El Mercado de Portobello es uno de los mercados más famosos de Londres. En Portobello es posible encontrar una gran variedad de artículos, entre los que destacan las antigüedades. Las monedas, relojes, muebles, sellos o joyas son algunos de los objetos más populares. El Mercado de Portobello toma el nombre de la calle en la que se encuentra, Portobello Road.
