Advice Appointment Request Form

Support & Advice Hub, Newcastle University Students' Union
Welcome to the Support & Advice Hub

Please use this form to request a housing or academic advice appointment with the Support & Advice Hub (Students' Union). We will begin with some initial questions to determine who you are, if you're eligible to use the service, and if you’ve previously booked with us. This helps you save time by not providing data unnecessarily.

If you have a general enquiry or welfare enquiry about the hub, please fill in the General Enquiries form.

Tell Us Who You Are
Ok, so...

This is a student-led service and we are not insured/licensed to advise the public, so we would not be able to process an appointment for you in this instance.
Ok, so...

As a prospective student, we can only provide student funding advice for you.
Have you had an appointment with one of our advisers before?
Which adviser(s) have you spoken with?

Ok, so...

Rather than booking another appointment with us, you can directly contact the adviser you have been dealing with via email. You can email our Administrator at supportandadvice.union@ncl.ac.uk if there is a reason you can’t contact the adviser. If you have a complaint about our service, please follow the NUSU Complaints Procedure

Which area of advice does your issue or query concern? (you can select multiple)
Contract Reviews

NUSU does not accept any responsibility for the choices you make with regards to housing, signing of contracts or any other legal documents. The Support & Advice Hub adviser will review your contract as the staff are experienced in reading housing documents but they are not legally trained or qualified. If you have concerns about your contract or do not understand any part of it, you should seek professional Legal Advice. NUSU is not commenting on the suitability or standards of the property you choose. The Support & Advice Hub Review service is not intended as a suitable substitute for you reading the contract yourself.
I agree with the statement above.
If 'Other', please state
To help us with a housing issue, please give our advisers us as much information as you can about the property your issue concerns (Include postcode):

Conflict of Interest Statement
The Support & Advice Hub, on occasion, is faced with a conflict of interest e.g. whereby the advisers know the student personally or two or more students contact us with regards to the same issue but they are in dispute. We will consider each case in its own right but our responsibility will lie with the first presenting client. We may not be able to explain to you why we cannot see you for confidentiality reasons. We accept this may be difficult to understand but we have to maintain a professional and balanced service. Otherwise, we will try to provide you with details of a referral agency that can help you.
Are other students involved in your issue/query?
Please let us know who they are, in reference to your issue
