Introducing your Students’ Association’s First-Ever Independent Academic Advice Service!
Your Students’ Association is proud to announce the launch of a brand-new Independent Academic Advice Service, in partnership with Alkhemy! This exciting initiative ensures that all students have access to free, independent, accessible, and confidential academic advice whenever they need it. Their experienced team will provide guidance on a range of topics under our academic policies, including; academic misconduct, extenuating circumstances, academic appeals, breaking in learning, and more.
Why Did We Set This Up?
Your Students’ Association believes that every student deserves the right support to navigate their academic journey with confidence. University policies can sometimes feel overwhelming, and we know that access to clear, impartial guidance is key to student success.
To provide this, we’ve partnered with Alkhemy, an external, independent advice service that will specialise in providing guidance to Arden students on our academic policies. Whether you’re facing an appeal, a break in learning, or extenuating circumstances, this service ensures you have expert guidance every step of the way.
“I’m excited to share a new service designed to support students in understanding and navigating their rights within the University's academic policies. This initiative ensures that every student has access to the guidance they need, whenever they need it, helping to improve their overall student experience. As your Student President, I’m committed to advocating for your success, and I encourage you to make use of this valuable support, whenever needed.”
- Student President, Jay Agbaje

This ensures those with non-traditional schedules have access to support when they need it most.
