Support during intermission

Whilst you’re intermitting you are still a student at the University of Essex and can continue to access information, support and signposting.

  • Accessibility and Wellbeing Advisers: Our named advisers continue to be available to support and signpost students during intermission. If you are not already allocated a named adviser, you may be allocated one before your return to study. To get in touch please email include@essex.ac.uk
  • Accommodation: Intermitting students who live in University Campus Accommodation and will need to speak with the Accommodation Essex via the Student Services Hub, for support and guidance. Additional support and advice is available through Student Union Advice and SU Homes.
  • International students: If you are an intermitting international student, you will need to seek advice about your visa from the International Services Team. SWIS continues to offer support to international students and can use remote meeting methods (such as Zoom calls) to continue contact whilst outside of the UK. 
  • Help and support for mental and emotional health including counselling is still available to intermitting students.
