How to book an Academic Skills appointment.

There are several ways to book an appointment:

  • Select your subject from the left hand panel. 
  • You will see the contact for your subject.
  • Click on the button to Book an Appointment.  
  • The Booking Page will be displayed. Follow the onscreen instructions. 

2. With any of the Academic Librarian and Skills Tutors

  • Go to the page Academic Skills Appointments.
  • From the drop-down list select whether you want a Microsoft Teams, In-person or Email appointment. 
  • Selecting the No preference option will give you the greatest range of  appointment dates and times. This is ideal if you need an appointment quickly or on a specific date.

Types of appointment 

  • Discussion Appointments: Held via Teams or in person these are for you to discuss areas you feel you might need support in e.g. finding resources, academic writing and more!
     
  • Read and Review Appointments: Done via email, you don't even need to attend! Attach your draft assignments, let us know what areas need looking at and wait for the review comments to support and guide you.

Standard appointments are 30 minutes. If it is your first appointment, or you feel you need more time, you may book an extended appointment for an hour.  Please note that your appointment may not be able to overrun since other students may have booked the following slot.
