We have recently introduced a new service called Livechat, which enables you to talk to an adviser online. This is similar to msn or AIM, but with the security of online banking, meaning that once more, it is completely confidential. Should you wish to partake in this service, please visit our Livechat pages by clicking here.
If, however, you are experiencing a more complex problem which requires more than a short period of time to resolve, you are encouraged to make an appointment. This can be done in several ways, either by telephone, email, or in person at our office. Please refer to our contact section for more information. Appointments last one hour, and like all our other services, are completely confidential. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please notify us as early as possible so that we can offer it to other students.
