​​​​​​​Notify someone about your situation

If you are having difficulties and need academic assistance make sure to notify your study adviser or coordinator right away. Together you can decide on the best plan of action to avoid you falling behind in your studies and/or being issued with negative binding study advice.

It is very important that you officially notifying someone about your situation to avoid problems escalating.
