Who can I contact?

Your student mentor (personal tutor) is the first person that you should ideally reach out to if you have any issues.

You can find out who your student mentor is on the Learning Management System.

You could contact a student counsellor.

It would be preferable if you could contact the student counsellors assigned to your batch. However, sometimes you may prefer to contact another student counsellor.
