Known issues
Students occasionally experience long response times, particularly near assessment deadlines. To mitigate this, it's recommended to submit requests as early as possible. If a response is not received within a week, following up is advised. Online resources are available 24/7, providing an alternative to phone inquiries. Ensuring all required documentation is ready before contacting can help streamline the process. Confidentiality is maintained under university policy, so students can feel secure in disclosing personal information.
