We recognise that difficulties can arise during your studies. We urge you to use the support available to you. If you are not sure who can help, contact someone in your Department who will be able to direct you, or access one of the University’s support services.

Information recorded in this way is only accessible by a small number of staff, but by making sure things are formally recorded, we can make sure your circumstances are considered and mitigation is put in place where appropriate.
