Advisers of study

You will be assigned an Adviser of Study during your first week at the Campus. Your Adviser of Study is primarily responsible for overseeing and supporting your progress as a student by helping you to decide on your curriculum choices.

He or she is also your first port of call in the event of any difficulties, whether these are course-related or personal. Your Adviser can either deal with your problems personally, or direct you to the most suitable form of assistance. You may not enrol, register, change courses or seek hardship funds without consulting your Adviser of Study.

Please let your Adviser know if you experience any health difficulties, family or personal problems, especially if these are likely to affect your attendance at classes or examinations. Your Adviser can liaise with your course convenors to let them know about any such compassionate grounds, so that you are not penalised for late submission of coursework or for non-attendance at examinations. He or she can also refer you to colleagues within Student Services trained to help you deal with particular issues or concerns.

For course-related problems, the first person to see should be the relevant lecturer or convenor.
