MyStuff is your personal area. Think of it as a box file that you use for storing notes, assignments and activities you complete while you study with us (and for at least two years after). The files or forms in MyStuff can be organised into various compilations: for example, a draft CV, which can be used to develop job applications. If you keep these things in MyStuff they are stored securely and you can get to them from any computer.

Using MyStuff on an ongoing basis

While you’re studying you'll find it useful to keep things, which can be valuable tools for your ongoing planning and development. These might be reflective notes, records of your skills, or information on the courses or training you’ve taken. You’ll also come across useful information which is worth keeping. For example, tips on revision techniques, advice on job hunting, or suggested pathways through a named degree.

Using MyStuff can be a way of making space in your life to think about your achievements and aspirations. Many people find that recording their thoughts and reflections helps them to keep track of their ideas and see how far they've developed over a period of time. The level of detail that you store and the amount of time you spend on this are entirely up to you. The important thing is to be able to access key information when you need it.
