- Even once you have completed the **Orientation course**, you will get access to the modules **once the start date of the semester has been published** – check the home page of the student portal at https://my.london.ac.uk for an official answer and be on the lookout in the `#general` channel of the [Slack workspace](http://londoncs.slack.com/): it will be announced as soon as it is known. Additionally, make sure you have joined the `#announcements-from-uol` channel on Slack because official communication sent by UoL via email will be shared there (this is not a channel for questions, only for communication **FROM** UoL).

### Getting access to student perks

#### GitHub Student Pack

- You can take advantage of the [GitHub student pack](https://education.github.com/pack) by registering with your student email and giving proof of enrollment (a screenshot of your latest payment for any module will do).
- This gives you access to professional tools from JetBrains (IDEs), free domain names, access to courses on platforms such as FrontendMasters, etc.

#### O'Reilly Online Learning - Library

- [Access it from this link](https://go.oreilly.com/university-of-london-worldwide) to find a plethora of books on algorithms, computer science, math, software developement and many other interesting fields!

### :question: I need help! Whom should I ask
