Drop-In Sessions

The SSO holds student drop-in sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30pm-1:30pm

Please either visit office 20, fourth floor of the Dental Hospital or email dental.sso@qmul.ac.uk at the time of the drop-in and a member of the SSO will call you on Teams within the drop-in hour.

Drop-ins are short initial meetings (about 10-15 minutes long) with the Student Support Officer.

The Student Support Drop-In sessions are for students who may not have booked an appointment but feel on the day that they could benefit from speaking to a member of the team.

They are run on a first come, first served basis and can fill up quickly, so please aim to arrive for the start of the session.

A few reasons you might attend drop in:

They can be a quick way to get an answer to a question or to get support
To get further information about our services
To be signposted to a different team
To make initial contact for a longer meeting.

If you cannot make any of the drop-in times, please get in touch as we can make other arrangements for you to speak to us (including phone and video call appointments) outside of these times.
