If you need support, you can log a case with us at any time. However, we appreciate there may be times when you’d feel better speaking to someone over the phone or through webchat, or seeing someone in person.
At the moment, we’re available to see you in person Monday to Friday, between 10:00 – 16:00. For more details, check our opening times on each campus.
We’re planning to extend our opening hours soon so you can speak to a member of staff at a time that suits you. Please check this article regularly for updates and changes.

Booking your appointment
Should I book an appointment or walk in?
The benefit of booking an appointment is that you’re guaranteed to see us at the time you booked and won’t have to wait.
If you’re a walk-in, please bear in mind you may have to wait in a queue to see us if it’s busy, and we will have to prioritise those with appointments. This means we can’t guarantee you’ll be seen if you walk in without an appointment.
If you’re on tight schedule, we’d recommend guaranteeing your timeslot by booking in advance.
To book a slot to see us you can use our online booking form where you will find all our available slots, and you can choose the service location you need.
You’ll be asked to provide some details, including your student ID number, before you can complete the booking.
