LEARNING ADVISOR ASSIGNMENT REVIEW

You may submit assignments to a learning advisor to receive assignment writing advice. There is a restriction on the amount of time that any student can expect to have with a learning advisor and it may be necessary to limit the number of times you can have feedback on an assignment if staff workloads are heavy.

Complete a Learning Support Appointment Request form.
Learning advisors usually need to be booked well in advance so if you want an assignment review, please contact us early.
