Student Support and Wellbeing

We’re here to support and help you throughout your time at Strathclyde. All of our services are available to all students.

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.

If your academic progress is, or potentially will be impacted, we would also ask you to make sure that you log your circumstances on PEGASUS (in line with the University’s Personal Circumstances Procedure)

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. 

SHOUT 85258 is a free, confidential, anonymous 24/7 text messaging support service whose service is there to support you and is for anyone struggling to cope.  

Safe360°™ underpins our duty of care and enhances support mechanisms for students and staff, integrating national guidance and University policies and procedures. We actively encourage reporting of any incidence of inappropriate behaviour, so that it can be challenged and addressed, and appropriate support provided.

We believe universities have an important role to play in building safer communities, both through the impact of our teaching, research and knowledge exchange, and by ensuring our campuses are safe. Together, we will play our part in driving the change that is needed in society more generally.

Regulations and Guidance

As a progressive, people-orientated institution of learning, the well-being of our staff and students is central to our values.  In order to keep the University and community safe we have guidelines which we expect everyone to adhere to - find out more here.
