Illness and difficult circumstances

If you find that ill health is affecting your studies, you may wish to speak to your Student Support Advisor. You can contact them via any of the Hallam Help Points at both campuses.  You may wish to consider applying for a Request to Repeat an Assessment Attempt (RRAA)  if a short term medical problem is affecting your studies.

See shuspace for more information.

Long term health difficulties

If you experience on-going, long term health difficulties, or identify as having a disability, you may be eligible for a learning contract from Disabled Student Support.
