What is the Programme? Please arrive on Wednesday 20th January 2016 as this is when the programme starts. It is a great opportunity for you to meet new people, get to know your new city and find your way around the University. You can find information on the main activities below but for details of all the events and activities on offer please check the New Students webpages for the latest changes and most up-to-date information. If there is likely to be a delay in your arrival at Keele, please contact the Immigration Compliance Team as soon as possible [email protected]. The first four days are specifically designed for International and EU/EEA Students to settle into life at Keele University. Along with lots of fun events and activities, you will also complete all the necessary University procedures to make your enrolment as smooth as possible. Keele Welcome continues beyond the first four days and will provide you with opportunities to meet all the new first year students and attend meetings and sessions with your School(s) and Programme Teams. We strongly encourage you to participate in the full Welcome Programme as much as possible. Who can help you? Welcome Teams To assist you as you arrive and to ensure you have a great first few days, the University has two main teams of Welcome and Support Guides as well as many other support teams to help you.

Blue T-shirts – Fresher Guides The Student Guides in blue t-shirts will be all over campus during Welcome Week.
