pre-arrival guide guide
DESCRIPTION
This guide will tell you the process for creating the pre arrival guide and some important dates you need to work towards.TRANSCRIPT
Each year, most peer support schemes make a booklet
that gets given to first year students starting their
course in September.
There are two parts that make up the pre-arrival
guides: the front cover, and the inside content.
The front covers are designed by you from templates
given to us by PwC. They then make the front covers
and print them off.
The inside material is completely designed and by
your scheme.
You can also think about having your guide online in
addition to, or instead of, printing the guides.
The first step is to talk to your staff coordinator to find
out what the process for the guides was last year. De-
pending on the scheme, they will either ask us to print
the inside material, or they will print it off themselves.
All the content produced by your scheme needs to be
checked by your staff coordinator.
If Peer Support is printing the inside content, the
deadline for submission is the 6th July at the latest.
This means that it must be produced, checked by your
staff coordinator and then sent to Peer Support by this
date.
If your scheme is printing the inside content, we will
arrange for the front covers to be delivered to you
when they arrive.
The front cover gets produced by PwC. We will pro-
vide you with a number of templates which you will
add some text and images to before it gets produced
and printed by PwC.
The first step will be to fill out the form that Peer Sup-
port will send you. You will be asked to pick which
template you want, and what pictures and text you
want on it.
Around a month after you submit your form, you will
receive the designed front cover and will be asked
what alterations you want made. This process can
happen up to twice to in order to get the best front
cover.
18th March : Online form sent to schemes.
13th April : Deadline for filling in the front cover form.
6th May : Receive first draft of front cover.
At this point, if the front cover is as desired, the fol-
lowing three steps are unnecessary.
18th May : Deadline for 1st corrections.
2nd June : Receive corrected cover.
15th June : Deadline for 2nd corrections.
6th July: Deadline for inside content
