UG Office FAQs
What are your opening times?
We are open Monday to Friday from 9 am - 5 pm and closed for lunch between 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm.
Lost property
Although there is no official lost property area in Blackett, we do sometimes have things handed in to us at the UG Office. It might also be worth asking down in the main reception, level 2 Blackett, as items are sometimes handed in there if we're closed. If your item has not been handed in at either of these places then you should check the main security office on level 1 of the Sherfield Building. They act as the main office for lost propert across the campus.
Where are the lecture theatres and tutorial rooms?
You can find Lecture Theatre 1 on level 3 Blackett, and Lecture Theatres 2 and 3 on level 1 Blackett.
Tutorials will take place in one of the following rooms:
311 located on level 3 Blackett
539 located on level 5 Blackett
640 located on level 6 Blackett

Spare handouts from lectures?
Spare handouts and problem sheets from lectures can be found on the front desk in the UG office. If you can't find the handout you require, please check the course page on Blackboard. Enough copies are made for one per person on the course, additional print runs will only be done in exceptional circumstances and at the request of the lecturer.
I want to meet my lecturer(s), what are their office hours?
Office hour information can be found on the course pages on Blackboard.
Can I use the stationary on the counter?
Yes, all students are permitted to use any of the stationary (staplers, guillotine, pens and pencils) supplies we have on the counter. Please do not take any of these supplies outside of the UG Office as things get lost!

Can I put up a poster outside the UG Office?
Unfortunately, we are no longer permitted to allow anyone to put a poster up outside the office due to fire and health & safety regulations. However, you can put your poster(s) on the large noticeboard downstairs on Level 2.
Lab related assessed work
If you have been given any assessed work from your Lab group, please liaise directly with the Lab Office. This includes any hand-ins. The Lab office is on Level 4 of the Blackett Laboratory.
My ID Card has stopped working
Please see the ID Card Office. They are based on level 1 of the Sherfield Building.
If you need an extension to your ID card because you are staying here over the Summer for a placement, e.g., UROP, please let your UROP Supervisor or the Administrator for the Research Group hosting your UROP know so they can get in touch with the Records team in Registry to extend your registration date at the College.
How do I register my locker?
At the beginning of the academic year please visit the UG Office to register your locker. This is a first come first serve basis and you can use any of the available red coloured lockers. In the first instance, you need to purchase your own padlock (the Student Union shop sells them), find a locker on level 1 or level 0, padlock it, and then let us know which one you have chosen so that it is registered under your name. Lockers must be emptied by the end of the academic year unless you are doing a UROP.
Where can I get a copy of the timetable?
Please note that the timetables are subject to change, and if yours is affected you will be alerted via email.
You can also sign up to get your timetable synced to your Outlook calendar, details can be found here. This gives you automatic updates when any changes are made to your timetable. If you have any trouble setting this up on your account or mobile device then you can visit the ICT Helpdesk located on level 1 of the Central Library.
I need a Confirmation of Study letter and/or a transcript of results?
We cannot produce any letters or transcripts for you at the Undergraduate Office unless you are an Erasmus student, in which case we can only produce a letter confirming that you are studying here at Imperial and not a transcript. For all other students, transcripts and confirmation of study letters can be requested at the Student Hub on Level 3 of the Sherfield building.
I am interested in staying on at Imperial to begin a Postgraduate course, who can I talk to?
Please see the Postgraduate Office, they are located next door in Blackett 316.
