We are pleased to announce that bookings are now open for our extensive range of Language courses and Arts and Humanities courses.
At Southampton we use a virtual learning environment (VLE) called Blackboard to deliver learning materials and real-time online teaching for our students. To access Blackboard, you will need to enrol as a Southampton student which will provide you with a student number, email account and student ID card. You will be asked to enrol after your course is confirmed and full instructions and support will be available from the Lifelong Learning admin team and our University IT support.
Your student ID card will give you access to learning resources to help support your study, and you may need the card to gain access to the building during the evening. Your ID card will also be required to access our excellent learning facilities and extensive resources, which include Hartley Library.
When booking a course please consult our Terms and Conditions which sets out our cancellation policy and price list for courses.
Evening courses need a minimum of 8 students to run, so ensure you sign up for your desired course a week before it start. If your chosen course is full (max. of 20 places) do contact us as we hold waiting lists.
We have listened to feedback and have been working hard to make the Online Store more user-friendly. Links on the course pages now take you directly to the course you want to book and pay for. Check it out!
