Advice Service

The Students’ Union Advice Team offers free and confidential advice for students at the University of Greenwich.

The team is independent from the University, as is the Union, meaning we can give you an impartial view and support on any issues you face.

Everyone faces obstacles or barriers; if you encounter any during your time at University, talking to our Advice team is the first step to get through them, tackle a range of academic and non-academic issues, and continue at University successfully.

The Advice Service will close on Friday 20 December 2019 and will not re-open until Monday 6 January 2020. 

Students will still be able to contact the Advice Team via email and book appointments to see an Adviser on the week beginning Monday 16 December 2019 – Friday 20 December 2019 and from Monday 6 January 2020 until Monday 27 January 2020.

Please contact the following services in an emergency during the closure period:

Police/medical emergency: 999

Housing - Shelterline: 0808 800 4444

Samaritans: 116 123

NHS non-emergency: 111
