It's easy to forget who to contact if you need help at College, so here's a quick reminder of some key information and contacts that are useful to remember...
More information on all of the support available can be found on the College's Mental Health website here.
If you are in College and you need emotional or personal help, your Personal Tutor, Student Mentor or member of delivery team will be there to do that.
They may refer you to the College's Listening Service, or other internal or external support.
However, problems and worries often happen outside of college times. This is why the Sheffield College has launched the Student Assistance Programme. This is an external agency that offers a 24/7 helpline of support. All phone calls are answered by trained Councillors who are able to guide, support and signpost.
Health Assured have a fantastic App called 'My Health Advantage' which as a Sheffield College student you can download. This has lots of podcasts, fitness advice, and well-being tips.
Do you need some support with your home life? Some organisations that may be able to help you can be found here.
There is plenty of enrichment on offer at College, from sports, to LGBT+ societies, to guest speakers and workshops.
You can check out the clubs and societies ran by the Students' Union here.
Sport sessions are also ran by the sport enrichment team for our learners.
If you have any questions, please email studentsunion@sheffcol.ac.uk
The College has an impartial Careers Team, who offer guidance appointments, support with getting a job, progression, getting into university, and more!
You can find out more information and resources on their website here.
Is there a leaky tap in one of the toilet sinks? Is there a dodgy lock on one of the cubicles? Is there a water fountain that's not working?
You can report issues like this to our Estates team at College through MyHub
Have an issue with a College laptop or computer? Have a problem with MyHub or your College log in? Is there a website that you need to access for revision that is blocked?
You can contact the IT team at College by emailing yourIT@sheffcol.ac.uk
Don't forget there are free period products available from College at every campus.
These are available from reception at every campus. Additionally, there are 'help yourself' boxes in Upper Student Central (City), next to reception (Hillsborough) and in the library area at Pennine 5.
There are also now free dispensers being installed in toilets at various locations.

We work with Sexual Health Sheffield to help make access to sexual heath services easier for our learners.
Keep an eye out for any work with them we might be doing throughout the academic year.
In the meantime, free condoms and leaflets are always available from reception desks at College.
Sexual Health Sheffield also run free and confidential walk-in Youth Clinics at the Hallamshire Hospital on Mondays and Wednesdays 2-6pm and Saturdays 9am-12:30pm.
More information and guidance can be found on Sexual Health Sheffield's website here.
Student Voice is the ways in which we get feedback and suggestions from students in the College. We get feedback and suggestions through our student reps (who represent their group in meetings with staff) and through our surveys that run twice a year. We also have a suggestions box in Upper Student Central (City) that students can pop suggestions in and an online version of this can be filled out here.
Any students are encouraged to engage with Student Voice and you can get in contact by emailing studentvoice@sheffcol.ac.uk.
More information can be found here.
The Libraries (LRC's) at College offer access to books, study space, computers/chromebooks, study support and much more!
Further information can be found on their website here.
