USS also supports students who may find themselves in dispute with the University, providing a confidential, professional service to help them make a complaint, representing them in disciplinary proceedings and helping them with academic appeals. USS also offers assistance where disputes or grievances arise between students.
The Student Centre offers a range of advice on matters such as learning support, disability issues, housing, finance and fees, international student issues and general enquires about course registration procedures, employment and careers workshops and graduation ceremonies.
