ADMINISTRATIVE

SUPPORTTo help you navigate College administration


• Your Tutor is not a teaching assistant or a seminar leader

• Your Tutor is an academic staff member who looks after you, not your grades

• They can provide personal and academic advice

• They will advocate on your behalf to College should anything happen in your life which may affect your academic performance

• However, they can only do this if they KNOW you are struggling in some way so it is important to let them know if you are going through a hard time or if something unexpected has happened

• Your relationship with your Tutor is entirely confidential, and they can provide a listening ear as well as advice on options
