We know that current events in the Middle East may be distressing for members of our student community; particular those who have personal connections to the region. 

The university is home to a global community and we recognise that international events can have a real emotional impact on students studying at each campus. We want to acknowledge that some members of our community may be feeling worried, upset, or affected in different ways.

If you feel affected and would like to someone to talk to you, please know that support is available:

• Every student has access to University Wellbeing support and mental health-related information: https://www.gre.ac.uk/support/wellbeing

• If you believe the current events have negatively affected your studies then you can apply for Extenuating Circumstances (https://www.gre.ac.uk/student-services/extenuating-circumstances) The University also has guidance on providing evidence in exceptional cases, which include students impacted by political conflict. (https://www.gre.ac.uk/student-services/extenuating-circumstances/evidence)

• If you need further support or have questions relating to the support available to you, please contact your GSU Advice Team (https://www.greenwichsu.co.uk/advice/triageform)

• The University may also consider deferred financial payments and students who believe that applies to them should contact the University finance team (https://www.gre.ac.uk/finance/contact-us)

GSU is committed in representing every student and fostering a community where everyone feels welcome. Please reach out if there’s anything further we can do to support you during this time.
