Stuck? Here’s Where to Go: Falmouth University Student Links Guide

University websites contain a lot of useful information, but finding the right page at the exact moment you need it can be harder than it should be. This guide brings together useful Falmouth University and FX Plus links by situation, from getting started to study support.

By Charlie Tak Hei Kwong 鄺德希 ·

Starting university can mean learning several new systems at once: enrolment, your timetable, university email, support services, library resources and more.

The information is there, but finding the right link on a large university website can be difficult — especially when you are already stressed, tired or unsure what the service is called.

This independent guide groups useful official links by the kind of help you need in different situations. Save this page so you can come back when something comes up.

Getting started: before you arrive or in your first week

  • New Students Hub
    Find out what you need to do before you arrive, including enrolment, packing lists and welcome events.
  • Student App & Portal
    Log in to see your timetable, check university email and update your personal details.
  • Term Dates
    Check when teaching starts and ends, and when university holidays fall.

Need help but not sure who to ask?

  • Student Helpdesk
    Start here if you have a general question or do not know which team can help. The Student Helpdesk can point you to the right service.
  • Mental Health & Wellbeing
    Find support for your emotional health, including counselling, wellbeing practitioners and self-care resources.
  • Disability Support
    Arrange support for learning needs, discuss campus accessibility or set up an Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
  • IT Services
    Get help with university computers, Wi-Fi, software, connecting your devices and printing on campus.
  • FX Plus FAQs
    Find quick answers to everyday shared-campus questions, including food, travel, facilities and campus security.

Study support: library and course information

  • Library New Students Guide
    Learn how to use the library for the first time, including searching for resources and borrowing books.
  • Library Subject Guides
    Find books, journals and useful websites selected specifically for your course.
  • Library Study Guides
    Build practical study skills such as essay writing, referencing and managing your time.
  • Academic Services
    Read official information about course rules, exams, grades and submitting work.

A quick way to choose

If you are trying to get set up, start with the New Students Hub, Student App & Portal or Term Dates.

If something feels difficult and you are not sure where to begin, contact the Student Helpdesk. You do not need to know the perfect service name before asking for help.

If the question is about how you study, explore the library guides or Academic Services. If it is about what you need to take part comfortably, Disability Support is a good starting point.
