There is no need to register in advance, unless specified. If you have any questions about the activity or any accessibility requirements you would like to tell us about in advance, please contact studentsuccess@hw.ac.uk

Drop-ins

The Student Wellbeing Services run daily drop-ins during the September and January semesters. Students can have a 15 minute supportive conversation and ask any questions they may have. All of them take place in the Student Wellbeing Centre. There is no need to sign up in advance, although we recommend arriving towards the start of the hour as we have limited capacity and operate on a first come, first served basis.

Disability: 11.00-12.00, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the September and January semesters.

Student Success Advisors: 12.00-13.00, Monday-Friday during the September and January semesters.

Counselling: 14.00-15.00, Monday-Friday during the September and January semesters.
