Posted on 20 October 2024

Time to pause and rest
Sleep well to be well
From balancing your mood to improving your capacity for learning, getting enough sleep is important and you should aim for between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Having trouble sleeping? There are lots of things you can do to help yourself. Find out how to get a good night’s rest.
Time to catch up
Complete the Academic Integrity Tutorial
All new students must complete our online Academic Integrity Tutorial. The tutorial and related tests will only take you 30 minutes so why not tick this one off your To Do List during Consolidation Week? You’ll find the tutorial on your VLE module list.
Check out our Skills Guides
Take time during Consolidation Week to find your way around our online Skills Guides: there’s videos, slides, and exercises on a range of skills topics, including advice on taking a break. There’s also our Subject Guides where you’ll find resources specific to your subject.
Academic Skills workshops
Why not register for one of the academic skills workshops being offered during Consolidation Week? You can join our online sessions on topics such as academic writing or critical thinking from anywhere. If you are in York then join our Adventures in Univyr City Game to try and obtain the scroll of success!
Academic skills one-to-one appointments
Consolidation Week could be an ideal time to get a one-to-one appointment to talk with your Faculty Librarian about searching for resources or referencing, or to book a 30 minute appointment with the Writing Centre, Study Coaching, or Maths Skills Centre.
Time to reflect and plan
Work through the Success at York Toolkit
Consolidation Week can be a time to think about what is important to you and what makes you thrive.
By working your way through videos, podcasts and activities, our Success at York Toolkit can help you reflect on what your time at university might all be for and help you plan for your future.
