Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the Student Services Hub
The Student Services Hub aims to provide students one place to go for their enquiries relating to Academic Registry (such as enrolment, academic progression, modules and fees), Careers and Employability, Income Office (such as paying tuition fees and debt), Student Learning Services and Student Support Services. We will offer guidance on what options are available as well as quick and easy referrals.
Should an enquiry be particularly complex they will escalate it to a Duty Adviser. We aim to have a Duty Adviser on call 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.
1. Opening hours
Our opening hours are 9am-5pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday we open at 10am to allow for essential team development. If we ever have to close at an unexpected time we will aim to promote this on our social media, update phone messages and have a notice on the door.
2. Response times
The team aim to offer a first personalised response to enquiries within 5 working days outside of our particularly busy periods, which are the first 6 weeks of semester, when the response time will increase.
