Student Services

As a University student studying at a partnership college you will have the same right of access to services as those studying on the main campus.   Student Services is situated at the heart of the main University of Teesside campus and offers a combination of services that provide advice, information and guidance to help you take actions to manage your life and achieve your goals.   We hope that the services we provide will enhance your experience as a student of the University of Teesside.

Student Support Unit
The Student Support Unit consists of a team of advisers available to see both prospective and existing students covering a range of issues from student finance, international student advice to health matters.   Additionally the Student Funding Team may be able to offer direct financial support to students in the form of the Access to Learning Fund and the Part-time Fee Waiver Scheme.

A drop-in service is available every weekday or alternatively appointments can be made for more in-depth advice.   If you are not able to attend the main campus for an appointment you can also email your enquiry to the team
studentfinance@tees.ac.uk    studenthelp@tees.ac.uk

Disability Services Unit
The advisers in the Disability Services Unit offer advice and information on entitlements, facilities, specialist equipment, access and exam provision and can negotiate arrangements with other agencies or parts of the University or college.   You may be eligible for external funding through the Disabled Students’ Allowances to meet the cost of support such as specialist equipments, dyslexia tuition, note taking or mobility support.   In the first instance you should make contact with an adviser to begin the process prior to starting your course.   Support can take several months to arrange so early contact is advisable.   The Assessment Centre on Teesside (ACT) is available to disabled students and disabled people who have applied to study in further and higher education.   We currently provide services to people who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, wheelchair-users or people with mobility difficulties, medical conditions, autistic spectrum disorders, mental health service users and people with specific learning difficulties (for example dyslexia).   Experienced staff within ACT are trained to assess your additional support needs.   This will help you to access funding you may be entitled to, such as Disabled Students’ Allowances.
