Academic Support 

Academic Support is available to help you navigate university processes, manage deadlines, and handle any issues with assessments or conduct.

You’re not alone, LTSU Advice can help.

 

What this means

Academic issues can cover things like appealing a grade, dealing with misconduct allegations, requesting an extension, or responding to concerns about your professional behaviour.

 

Why it matters

Handling academic problems quickly and correctly can protect your grades, progression, and wellbeing. Getting advice early helps you make informed decisions and reduces stress.

 

Do you need advice? 

You might want advice if:

  • You think a grade or decision wasn’t fair and want to appeal

  • You’ve been accused of plagiarism, cheating, or misconduct
  • Illness, personal issues, or other circumstances have affected your work
  • You’re facing concerns about behaviour or professional standards

 

What you can do yourself

  • Keep a record of emails, feedback, or correspondence

  • Note key deadlines for submissions, appeals, or extensions

  • Gather evidence of mitigating circumstances (medical notes, emails, support letters)

  • Review university policies so you understand the rules
