Why is it important to use MySurrey Engagement?

Multiple studies have shown that students who achieve the highest grades are often the ones that have engaged the most in the wide range of learning and teaching opportunities available. You have a much better chance of progressing and succeeding when you make the most of the opportunities available to you, including attending timetabled teaching sessions, using the Library and viewing content on SurreyLearn.

We have always had access to data about your engagement, but we have never been able to put it into a user-friendly dashboard view before. MySurrey Engagement does just this.

It will also allow the University to spot when there may be students who might be struggling and reach out to offer a helping hand and get you back on the right pathway for you.
