Student Support Co-ordinators

Mel Williamson is the student support coordinator (SSC) for the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences based in Swindon.

She can be contacted on: hls-swindon-ssc@brookes.ac.uk

Support coordinators are here to support you throughout your time at Oxford Brookes and can help, in confidence, with any problem or issue you may face during your time at University. If they can't resolve the issue, they will signpost you to somebody who can.

Support coordinators understand the pressures of student life and equally, combining study with family and work commitments. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it may help to talk to someone not connected to your studies.

No matter how big or small the problem, they can help with...

· Personal issues (e.g. loneliness, relationships, workload, anxiety, bereavement)

· Guidance on making extenuating circumstances requests

· Money worries

· I.T. problems ( Brookes Virtual or Turnitin) - adding/removing modules to your programme

...and more...

They want to make sure you are able to get the most out of your experience here at Oxford Brookes and that nothing gets in the way.

Their door is always open!
