I have a question about a module or assessment.
Use the academic contact or channel identified in your programme information. Keep the question specific and include the relevant module and deadline. Formal assessment decisions follow the university’s approved procedures.
I need to discuss an accessibility requirement.
Ask for the confidential accessibility-support route before sending medical or sensitive information. Discuss the barriers you experience and the adjustments that may help you participate.
My circumstances are affecting my study.
Contact the appropriate student-support team early to understand the available guidance and any formal process for extensions, interruption or other arrangements.
I want to raise a concern or complaint.
Start with the published university procedure and the team responsible for the issue. Academic concerns should be directed to the university even when local services are delivered through a GOE Center.
