Personal advisers
Personal advisers. Advisers are the first point of contact if the student experience personal difficulties that affect their work. The advisers write references for student, listen and try to help with problems or refer the student to someone who can. Adviser offers advice about additional learning needs e.g. a study skills course. The adviser may get information on his/her own initiative, may be informed of problems by the School Office or may learn from students themselves. The adviser has access to files of students assigned to him/her at all times. The student advisor may identify personal, mental of health problems of students. In these cases the matter is to be brought to the attention of the School Office. The School Office will then seek professional help as from Student Affairs, or the NU Counsellors.
