Registry provides expertise in dealing with a number of areas of student casework, including student complaints, student conduct and academic appeals.

This page provides an overview of our main areas of responsibility, as well as links to further information about each area and sources of support for students. For members of staff, we are also able to provide training, advice and guidance in any of these areas.
