Welfare services
The SU is particularly proud of its welfare services. The Advice Centre
is run by permanent staff together with fully-trained student volunteers and
provides assistance with a wide range of academic and personal matters,
including accommodation, immigration and visa renewal, loans and financial
issues. It also provides a confidential service for any students who feel
they need someone to talk to. The SU also provides a security minibus
service which enables students to get to and from the Colchester Campus in
the evenings.
In addition, we constantly campaign to get a better deal for students
locally and nationally.
