Student Support Coordinators

When you visit the Support Centres, Student Support Coordinators will be ready and waiting to assist you at the front desk. These are members of staff who are trained to deal with student enquiries and who have previously worked in School offices to support you and your School.

Each School has a dedicated Student Support Coordinator who you should refer to about any School or course-specific issues. Click here to see who your Student Support Coordinator is and where to find them.

The service provided by the Support Centres is offered in addition to support given by academic members of staff, your Academic Tutor and the Student Services teams based in the Carrington building.
