Communications

Here we present information on who you can contact regarding academic advising in your College and Department along with ways in which we communicate to the academic advising community.

Academic Adviser allocations

Hallam students have an Academic Adviser allocated to them at the beginning of Semester 1/2 and will have contact with them at least 3 times per academic year to discuss:

• Academic Progression Development.
• Personal Development.
• Professional Development.

Who are our Academic Advisers?

Academic Advisers are members of the teaching team within the Colleges and Departments. Each College / Department has an AA Lead and all the AA staff names are listed on the Academic Adviser staff list.
