If you have a hit a wall with your studies and you are thinking about taking time out or stepping off the course, you can find some really useful information here: http://www.brighton.ac.uk/ontherightpath/

As exams are just around the corner it can be a very daunting time for many students, and Student Services is here to support you. 

It is always best to get the correct information before you make a decision so do come and talk to us as any decision you make now (or before term re-starts on 15th April) will have an impact on the fees you pay this year and student finances in the future.

We are open through the vacation period, so you can either email us studentadvice@brighton.ac.uk, or phone 01273 642888.
