  • Please prepare for your online session as much as possible. Make sure you have all relevant course materials to hand and try to identify a specific area of difficulty.

SUMS for Access/Foundation

Friday afternoons are specially dedicated to students taking Access/Foundation courses and Mature Students. If you are one of these students you are of course free to attend on any day but please be aware that the centre can be extremely busy and that you will receive more time with a tutor on Friday afternoons.
