Hi Y'all! Have you managed to register to the LPC programme? The Hub mentions that BPP would get in touch with us so I was wondering if you guys have actually registered properly (whatever "register" even means haha) thank you! Also, any idea how long international book shipping takes from BPP? Thank you very much!

BPP LPC help. 3Days?
- Thread starter M&A
- Start date
My son has had his timetable tonight too in the outlook 365 thing (full time London (Holborn) LPC). He had requested 2 long days and instead has 3 mornings a week starting 9am. I suspect that is easier to concentrate in being over 3 days rather than 2 very long days so I do not think that is a problem. He will just have to get used to leaving home before 8am. He says it will be like getting up for school again. I presume his twin will have received his timetable too, but he is out. We will check tomorrow.
He says there is nothing he needs to attend in week 1 ( I suspect that may be, as people say above, that the induction week is not fully showing ye, but I have not seen the timetable so this is just what I was told) .

Same here - what timetable link are you guys using? My one seems to be 2019/2020...
I think you might be looking at the VLE one, but if you go onto the hub and then click on ‘help and support’ and then click office 365 and look at the calendar through that it may work!
Yes the VLE one doesn’t seem to show anything for me, but the outlook calendar had been updated. Still nothing on Induction week though 😅
Hi Jane! Thank you very much for these information. By any chance would you know the best number to use to try contacting BPP for LPC London queries? I've tried some and they never pick up despite being on hold for very long.
Thank you, unfortunately mine still isn't showing anything - hopefully it'll update soon!
Hi Daniel, just wondering whether you have officially "registered" for your LPC course? In "The HUB", under the "Start Here!!" tab, it mentions that for registration, the student enrolment adviser would get in touch and was wondering whether you need to actually register before getting your timetables? Also, have you received your books?
Thank you!
I agree with "R203" above. Just in case people are having problems to be able to access things check the following (which is probably already above on this thread but worth summarising). I believe this is necessary before accessing timetables etc :-
Check if you have "registered". On 30 July one of my sons received an email from [email protected] stating "You are now registered" - which gave his "student reference number" (SRN) and referred him to an earlier email which explained how to set up the "Hub" account and password and reminded him if any documents were still needed to be sent to BPP such as degree cert, passport etc (they had been sent earlier in his case - he sent them 2 or 3 times in the end including passport photograph, degree transcript etc). Before that on 7 July he received a "Welcome to BPP university" email which said there were som "simple steps" to register - step 1 pay, step 2 provide the documents and also you complete a "contact details form". He then did that leading to the "you are registered" email once we realised he and his brother needed to get on with those steps to register. It was only when I asked my son to send me the welcome to BPP that any of us read the email in full and noticed you had to do certain things to register. So it might be worth people who are having problems reading emails from BPP if not already done so.
If you have had the "you are now registered " email ( which I am assuming everyone who has registered receives) then make sure you can log into "the hub".
Then on the Hub home page, once logged in, click on "My Learning" on the left hand side. Under "Welcome to" there is a welcome section telling you what to do eg it says you need to make an assessment choice for exams (online or in person - my sons have picked online as that worked fine for them on the PGDL earlier this year), I believe, before you can see everything on the hub. That is headed "Assessment choice - important".
Then again under "Welcome" you can click on "Delivery of materials" - you need to do this before the course ideally, as only when you type in your term time address will they send you a big box of materials which my son received this week. There are two things to do there - give your term time address for the main materials and secondly the address for the company law handbook which comes separately.
For access to the timetable which my son received last night I noticed there was a pdf on the Hub about how to access it - I think one way is:- on the Hub click on "Help and Support" section and then "My Resources" then "My office 365" as someone else has said above. My son yesterday, however, logged on to his BPP email address/account on Office 365 on his mobile, which presumably he had from the PGDL earlier this year, and saw his timetable there.
--------------
I was asked if I had the best phone number of BPP. I have not found one for specific kinds of queries, just the general number. My son who called them last a little while back when he was chasing the survey to indicate which days he wanted to do, probably just called the main BPP UK number which might be 03300 603100. That is the number I called when I paid the fees in early July.
When my other son is around later today I will ask him if he has had his timetable yet (and report back).

[Update - it was just that that person wanted the part time LPC classes in the week not weekends and that option was not availlable so they are now doing it part time at weekends]
Update - other son has his timetable now too.
We looked in the box of physical materials one has received and checked it against the list in the box and there are 11 items but two are identical I think (at least on the front and back they look like they are ) both are "Property and practice Aug 21" rather than one named that and and one called " Prop Law and Practice July21" as on the accompanying list. It would be useful to know if that is the same for others who have had the box of materials.
Thank you very much Jane!
I have some paranoia and apologies for troubling you with them.
Essentially, I did not receive the "you are not registered" email. I was sent an email which told me to send my transcripts and passport to a specific email ([email protected]) and also to officially "accept my place" through a given link. I was also asked to complete a "contact details form". After I sent my transcripts, I received an automated reply by the admissionsdocuments team saying they received my email of the transcripts pdf.
Weeks later, I received a "welcome to BPP University!" email which gave me information about the VLE, including passports and more importantly, my SRN (Student Ref Number). So surely this means I was registered? But till now, I have not received the "you are not registered" email you mentioned.
Was afraid perhaps if I missed a step. I am trying to be very careful with these admin steps as I've heard many stories about how you must be proactive in these things especially when BPP is involved hahaha.
Also, I am an international student and so have submitted my international address into the "Hub" for shipping of the books. Fingers crossed I receive them soon...
Oh yes, before I forget, I did not even receive any emails about "The Hub". I literally found out about the portal through this kind forum. I am doing the virtual LPC commencing 6th September, similar to the Holborn full-time cohort, and was wondering if many people have not received info on "the hub"...
As always, thanks everyone here!
Hi Jane,
Unhelpfully I chucked out the list. But I have the materials and have been working with them. There are two different property materials. One is a paperback handbook, statutes for the course. The other is a big stack of punchedholed papers where the reading chapters are.
I had a chat on the phone the ot
From memory, less than a week for the books on the list of 11 as above. Still waiting for the company law book which they said is only released at the end of August.
R203- from what you write above I think you must be registered. (My reference to an email "you are not registered" above was a typo - my son's email had said "you are NOW registered". I just don't know if everyone receives the same emails. Also you received the welcome to BPP with the student registration number. I don't think anyone receives that number unless they are registered and what you describe above is what my sons did - the submissions, accept place, sending contact details form etc. However call BPP on Monday or complete their online contact form this weekend if you have not had your timetable yet as I think it is worth chasing it up.
On date for delivery of materials as far I can see it was about 24 August or 23rd when my son gave the delivery address for the books and then they arrived on 26 August. His twin brother only just filled out those details yesterday so I am hoping his books arrive by the middle of this coming week. This is a delivery to our house here in outer London. I cannot remember the delivery company's name and I do not think my son who has the materials was given a time of day they would arrive which might be an issue for other people as most people are not around all the time but I expect they leave a card if people are not in in the usual way etc
On what is in the box of materials, in case it helps others this is what is listed on the paper list inside the box which lists 11 items (the list was half way down the box not on the top and we only found it yesterday when taking thing out of the box for the first time):-
Business law and practice Aug 21 (this is hole punched study materials)
Civil and criminal litigation Aug 21 - these are hole punched study materials
Property and practice aug 21 - hole punched study materials (I think by mistake my son has been sent 2 copies of this one)
Then on the list at the end there is a different ISBN and item number from the one above "Prop law and practice Jul 21" but what we actually have received from the outside looks exactly like Property and practice Aug 21 with on july 21 date on it. My son has not opened the plastic cover to check if they are the same or not yet. He does not have the paperback handbook which someone helpfully mentioned above "There are two different property materials. One is a paperback handbook, statutes for the course. The other is a big stack of punched holed papers where the reading chapters are." That is why these threads are so useful. I will try to encourage my son to contact BPP on their contact form asking if he should have a property book rather than 2 copies of the punched property notes.
Skills aug 21 - (hole punched study materials)
CPR other materials (this is a book dated July 2021 with Part 1 on the front)
CPR other materials (a different one from above - marked Part 2 and also a book)
PACE ( spiral bound criminal litigation - but like a book rather than punched pages)
Criminal litigation (this a book and is also headed on the book "Permitted Materials")
PCR (this is the Professional Conduct book and is spiral bound)
PCR standards and reg (this is also spiral bound and on professional conduct but is the standards and regulations book)
When his twins' materials arrive, hopefully this coming week, we will compare the two sets. I am sure that if anyone has any book missing that can easily be sorted out with BPP once you start the course. It is more issues like are you registered and have you got your timetable yet that are probably more important.
My son is also waiting for the Company Law Handbook textbook from the publishers which is likely to be sent this coming week (although my other son who only just sent the address details yesterday might be lucky if it comes this week I suppose).
(I have not looked at differences between VLE and Hub so cannot help on that. We certainly on the Hub under My Learning saw "you are now enrolled on" and then various LPC modules but not Business (company) law one . it may be that one is simply not up there yet and you can access the 63 pages of pre module reading for that subject anyway. It is also confusing for those who did the PGDL last year that you have to wade through a lot of sections on that My Learning page from last year's GDL before getting to the LPC. but that is not a major issue and indeed it might be helpful to have online access to last year's company law and property law etc on the PGDL.)
