Advice Service

The Advice Service is a free and impartial service that offers assistance to all UHI students. We can help with academic issues and direct you to university services for other support. Our goal is to provide you with the resources and guidance you need to make the most of your student experience.

  • About The Advice Service As a student, your Student Association is here to provide support for your academic and personal success. Our independent Advice Service offers free, impartial advice to all UHI students.
  • Contact Us The Advice Service is available during the opening hours, Monday to Friday, 9 am-5 pm. We provide advice through various appointments, including voice and video calls as well as email. We can also support you as a companion or representative at University meetings.
  • Wellbeing Your wellbeing is important to us and the Advice Service understands that student life can be stressful sometimes. However you are feeling and no matter what stage of your studies you’re at, the UHI and Your Students’ Association are here to provide you with the support you need.
  • Academic Integrity At UHI, academic integrity, honesty, and trust are taken very seriously. You are expected to understand and adhere to the requirements concerning your academic work. Academic misconduct involves doing anything that gives you or another student an unfair advantage in an assessment.
  • Study Skills & Learning Support As part of your Student Induction, you will have been signposted to some resource material from UHI to help you in your development of academic work.
  • Mitigating Circumstances We know that your studies are only one part of your life. We also understand that matters can come up for anyone unexpectedly and beyond your control, making it harder to study to the very best of your ability.
  • Academic Appeals Sometimes things happen that impact your studies and performance in assessments – illness, bereavement, jury service, and other unforeseen circumstances.
  • Fitness To Practice Students on courses accredited by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRB) are also subject to the professional standards and/or Codes of Conduct issued by the PSRB.
  • International Students We understand that adjusting to a new country can be challenging, but we are here to assist our international students at every step!
  • Student Housing Once you've picked your campus and course, the next big decision is deciding where to live. Take your time exploring the various accommodation options and keep an open mind to ensure flexibility. Feel free to check out our student housing tips for friendly advice on finding the right accommodation, including tips on where to live and what to consider when house hunting.
  • Student Conduct Procedures Misconduct at UHI may result in disciplinary action, including improper interference with the university's functioning or activities. If you allegedly breached UHI's Student Code of Conduct, the Advice Service can assist you with the student conduct procedures.
  • UHI Complaints If you are unhappy about something that the University has done (or not done) or about a member of staff, you have a right to complain about this and we can support you in doing so.
  • Students Association Complaints If you are unhappy about something that the Students' Association is responsible for or about a member of staff or officer, you can raise a complaint about this.
