Need an appointment ?
It is sensible wherever possible to make an appointment with the lead contact for your subject area. If slots are not available when you need them consider making an appointment with the additional contacts for your area.
In the event there is still no suitable availability, click on https://staffs.libcal.com/appointments and under Locations select the Microsoft Teams option and then choose Academic Skills and the No preference option (this will be highlighted by default). Doing this will give you the greatest range of dates and times to book your online 121 support.
Try our Academic Skills Chat!
If you cannot find an appointment time to suit your commitments, please use the Academic Skills chat option. Available Mondays to Fridays in term time our online Chat can often help clear up study related difficulties. Look for the button at the bottom of this page to see if it is available!
Chat offline? Don't worry - you can always email us at academicskills@staffs.ac.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
