Just what is Student and Academic Services (SAS) responsible for? In case you didn’t know, SAS offers an incredibly wide range of services, including:
- managing admissions
- keeping students records
- running the Student Hubs
- providing careers advice, personal counselling, disability support, and health services (amongst many others)
- staffing the 15000 UoN enquiries service and supplying the answers to AskUoN
