Welcome to LSE and Orientation 2014!

You have come to an extraordinary

school. LSE is world renowned for

brilliant research, distinguished graduates,

vibrancy and diversity. Insiders also know

it for lively discussions, stimulating classes,

and friendships that last a lifetime.

The LSE student experience is unlike

any other. Our campus is located at the

heart of one of the worlds greatest cities,

walking distance to centres of power,

culture, and finance. London is enriched

by a remarkable history both British and

global. Learn from all of it.

Above all, learn from each other. You

come to LSE from nearly every country

in the world and every part of the UK.

Take full advantage of the chance yourcourses give you to study with the top

specialists in your field.

This Orientation Guide is intended to help

you learn your way around LSE quickly.

It includes information on the many

events taking place over Orientation

Week and beyond, as well as information

regarding some of the services availableto students at LSE.

Make the most of this week. Ask questions,

introduce yourself to lots of people,

try new things. Student Helpers

will be on hand to give you

directions and answer

questions. There is also plenty

of information available

on the LSE website at

lse.ac.uk/yourFirstWeeks

I hope you find your orientation to

LSE to be an enriching and enjoyable

experience. And I hope you find your

time here of enduring benefit for the rest

of your life.

Best wishes,

Professor Craig Calhoun

Director

Get to know the Student Services Centre

Visit the Student Services Centre

(ground floor, Old Building) to access

a range of support and advice services

while you are studying.

We offer general advice about most

things, and we can point you in the

direction of specialist teams including the

Financial Support Office, the International

Student Immigration Service (ISIS) and

the Fees Office.

During Orientation Week, the Student

Services Centre will be very busy. Please

read the information in this guide or visit

our website at lse.ac.uk/yourFirstWeeks

where many of your questions will be

answered. If you still need help, please

come along and see us. We cant waitto meet you!

Plan your time

Orientation Week is designed to introduce

you to the School and help you to meet

other students. This guide is packed with

information about things you need to do,

events you must attend and lots of fun,

optional things. So how do you go about

planning your time?

Youll be invited to events hosted by your

academic department, where you will

meet other people taking similar courses.

There are also events for all students;

some are organised centrally by the

School and others are organised by the

Students Union.

The important thing to note is that

some of these events are compulsory,

such as registration, the LSE WelcomePresentations (see pages 5-7) and many

departmental events.

Aside from this, the majority of events are

optional, so take some time in deciding

which to attend. Prioritise the events

that are most relevant to your interests;

whether you want more information

about living in London, joining clubs andsocieties, networking with academics

and students from your department, or a

mixture of them all.

Orientation Week is just the start of your

time at LSE, so dont feel like you will miss

out if you dont go to every event that you

are interested in attending.

Your LSE password keeps your data

secure. It is therefore important that you

pick a good password that is difficult

to crack or guess but easy for you to

remember.

Never tell your password to anyone else

or write it down

Think carefully before providing it to any

site that asks for it

Remember that LSE will never ask you

for your password

You will be asked to change your

password at least once a year.

You can set your security questions

in LSE For You (lse.ac.uk/lseforyou

| Account Management | Update

Security Questions) so you can resetyour password if you forget it.

For more tips on choosing a strong

password, visit lse.ac.uk/password

Beware of malicious emails

Email scammers attempt to gain access

to your account by tricking you into giving

away your password. Check emails

carefully and avoid getting caught out:

Do you recognise the sender?

Is the greeting generic eg, Dear User,

Dear lse.ac.uk User?

Is there a threat of account closure or

deletion if you dont act now?

Does it contain a link to a website that

goes somewhere other than lse.ac.uk?

If so, then it is most likely a scam. Be

constantly vigilant when checking your

email to avoid having your important

data and your identity stolen. For moreinformation and tips on staying safe, visit

Sometimes, external bodies will ask you to provide a document which proves that

you are a student. There are two ways to go about this, depending on the type of

document you require. See lse.ac.uk/certificateOfRegistrationfor more information.

1 Certificate of registration

This is available via LSE for You one hour

after you have registered as a student.

Log in at lfy.lse.ac.uk

Click Certification and Documentation

then Certificate of Registration.

Confirm your address details are

correct, then click the print option in

your web browser and the certificate

will be produced.

Take this with your Student ID card to the

Student Services Centre, where a member

of staff will validate the certificate.

These are often, though not exclusively,

used for:

Council tax exemption or discount

(see page 27).

Registering with a doctor (see page 33).

Access to libraries, such as the

British Library.

2 Letter from LSE

Occasionally, you may need something

more formal, so you will need to request a

letter from LSE.

If you need a letter to open a bank account,

please read the information on page 26.

If you need a formal letter

for any other reason, visit

lse.ac.uk/certificateOfRegistration

and follow the instructions provided.

How to prove that you are a student

Top tips

If you have any problems accessing yourcertificate of registration from LSE for You,

report this by email to [email protected]

Applying for visas:Many banks and

embassies will not accept the LSE for

You certificate of registration. Check the

requirements carefully to make sure you

have the right document.

PhD students should contact theResearch Degrees Unit(6th floor,

Tower 2) to request documentation.


28/4826

British banks have strict regulations,

meaning that opening an account can

take time and patience, particularly for

international students.

Heres how to go about it:

1 Visit lse.ac.uk/bankAccounts

This page lists names and addresses

of bank branches close to LSE and

important details regarding the documentsthey require.

2 Research the best bank account

for you

You may want to consider how easy it is to

open an account when making a decision

about which bank is right for you.

3 Know which documents you need toopen an account

This is the most important step! Each

bank requires different documentation to

open accounts and they are very specific

about the format of the documentation they

will accept.

Usually, you need to obtain a bank

letter from the Student Services Centre. Allbanks require current address information,

so you mustupdate your contact details in

LSE for You before requesting a bank letter.

Visitlse.ac.uk/bankAccounts for details of

how to obtain a letter.

4 Make an appointment

Some branches allow you to drop in at any

time to open an account, while others require

that you book an appointment. Check this

with the bank as early as possible.

How to open a bank account

Top tips

Remember you cant register early!

Some banks will only allow you to open

an account after you are a registered

student. Find out when youll register at

lse.ac.uk/registration

Some banks may allow you to book

an appointment before you arrive in

London, which can save you a great

deal of time.

Appointments at branches local to LSE

fill up quickly, so think about opening

your account at a branch further away.Once your account is set up, you can

usually do business with any branch of

your bank.

Opening a bank account can take

some time, so make sure you plan your

finances accordingly.

PhD students should contact the

Research Degrees Unit(6th floor,Tower 2) to request documentation.

Council Tax is a system of local taxation on

the place where you live. It is paid to your

local authority or Council as a contribution

toward the running costs of public services

in your community. The tax applies to the

property rather than to individuals.

Are students entitled to an exemption

or discount?

Most students are entitled to anexemption or discount, depending on

your circumstances. As a general rule,

if all the people who live in your home

are full-time students, it is likely that the

property will qualify for an exemption.

If you are a full-time student living with

one other non-student adult, it may be

possible to get a Council Tax discount. If

you live with more than one non-student

adult, it is unlikely that the property will be

eligible for a discount.

For further information and useful links

visit lse.ac.uk/students/councilTaxor

adviceguide.org.uk

Do international students have to pay?

Council Tax rules apply to all students,

regardless of nationality. Visit ukcisa.org.uk

for more information.

How do I apply for exemption

or discount?

The process will vary depending on where

you live, so check with your local council

directly. It is highly likely that you will needproof of your student status.

The quickest way to obtain this during

Orientation Week is to print your Certificate

of Registration from LSE for You (see page

25) and bring it with your student ID card to

the Student Services Centre. Let a member

of staff know that it is for Council Tax

exemption and they will stamp the certificate

and attach a covering letter. You should

present both documents to your council.

Top tips

You cannot register early!Your certificate

of registration will be available to download

from LSE for You one hour after you have

registered. See lse.ac.uk/registrationto

find out your designated registration date.

Early arrivals: if you arrive before your

registration date you may be liable for

Council Tax up until that point.

Students in Halls:you are

automatically exempt from Council

Tax if you live in LSE halls. If you live in

intercollegiate halls will need to provide

a stamped Certificate of Registration to

your hall management team.

PhD students should contact the

Research Degrees Unit(6th floor,Tower 2) to request documentation.
