Academic
One of our biggest areas is advice and guidance on the University’s Regulations, Codes of Practices and procedures within the legislation.
This could be advice in relation to the evidence required for an extenuating circumstances form or how to change your course, to long term advisor support during a primary appeal. In all cases you will receive advice on your options moving forward, and the potential impact of those options on your time at the University of Birmingham.
Below we have summarised advice and guidance on the key focal points of this area, however this should be a starting point, please contact us for more advice and guidance.
