Advice

Alongside all the ways to get involved, we also offer free, independent and confidential advice and support for every Roehampton student.

Our team can help with academic issues, including appeals, complaints, mitigating circumstances and disciplinary matters. We also provide housing advice and support, and are members of AdviceUK, Shelter and UKCISA.

Accessibility

At the Students’ Union, we’re passionate about equality and inclusion, which is why we’ve ensured that our events are as accessible as possible to all students including those with disabilities.

Here, you can find the accessibility support we offer and information on how we can help you take part with confidence.

The Hive Cafe

We’re pretty proud of our fully sustainable café, right at the heart of Digby Square. Fancy a coffee? Want to support sustainability? Some of our produce is grown right here on campus, it doesn’t get fresher than that!

And the best bit? The Hive is a social enterprise. That means every penny you spend gets reinvested into student services. So when you grab a bite, you’re putting money right back into students' pockets.

That's cool!
