Appointments

Students can book an appointment with a Money Adviser via firstpoint - email firstpoint@worc.ac.uk or phone 01905 542551

Appointments can be in-person on the St Johns campus (firstpoint, Peirson Study & Guidance Centre). Alternatively, students can book a telephone or Teams appointment, including those students studying at one of the University's partner institutions. 

We do not give legal advice but we can help you to identify major elements of your welfare or financial difficulties and provide information, advice and help to resolve them.

We Will:

  • Listen to you
  • Explain the options available to you
  • Help you identify further action to take
  • Help you fill in forms and draft letters if necessary
  • Contact other organisations for further information if relevant
  • Liaise with others on your behalf, e.g. Student Finance England

Access to Learning Fund (Hardship Fund)

In addition, we administer the Access to Learning Fund, which is available to eligible Home and EU students (eligible for Home Fee status) experiencing financial hardship. The fund is non-repayable and may be applied for at any time during the academic year and even during the long holiday months for some students.

See the Access to Learning Fund page for more information.   


International Student Hardship Fund

We also have the International Student Hardship Fund for international students in year 2 or above, with an unexpected financial difficulty requiring one-off short-term help to avoid it impacting on their success at university.

See the International Student Hardship Fund page for more information.
