Student Enquiries:鈥疞aunched in 2023
Our students now have a single space to access information and find answers to their queries. Our Digital Student Centre shows them the status and ownership of their queries in one place. It is accessible at any time of the night or day on any digital device.
Our colleagues from across the university collate, track and respond to each query. They use improved insights, including real time student feedback to improve our services. We use it to refine our information and reduce duplicated queries. This prevents unnecessary “bouncing” of queries between our teams.
Personalised Holistic Support:鈥疞aunching in 2024-25
Phase 2 will provide more鈥痗omplex and detailed support solutions. We are delivering鈥痵olutions which will improve support for our students. Areas will include student鈥痚ngagement, accommodation, academic and personal鈥痗onduct. Plus student support services such as finance, disability, mental health and wellbeing.
Our multi-service case management solution is already in use by Information, Advice and Participation (IAP). Our International Student Advice Service and Report and Support services now use SLM for casework management.
Our Student Finance services and Student Wellbeing Services have also now been added to the Digital Student Centre.
