Getting Academic Help

• Ask your module tutor: Many students are reluctant to ask their tutors, but they are there to help you, and they set aside at least two hours per week for Drop In (often referred to as 'Office Hours'). Email them to ask when this is, or check on your module page on QMPlus for details. You could also email them your questions if you don't want to ask during class.

• Attend PASS sessions: Many academic schools at Queen Mary operate the Peer Assisted Study Support (PASS) scheme for first years. Visit the PASS page and email the relevant contact for your school to find out when PASS sessions operate.

• For essay writing or presentations help: You can book a one to one tutorial in the library here. These sessions are popular so book as soon as you think you need one - there could be a wait.

Every school at Queen Mary University has a dedicated Student Support Officer who can offer advice on matters you feel may be impeding your ability to study. This will also be the person you should hand Extenuating Circumstances form to. Find your Student Support Officer here.
