'Off Books' Students
SLD supports students who are currently 'Off Books', helping them develop new strategies to navigate academic challenges and develop learning skills.
As a student you are expected to pursue your undergraduate course continuously unless permitted by the Senior Lecturer to interrupt it, normally for a period of one year, either by going ‘off-books’ or by intermitting your studies for extra-curricular reasons.
During your year 'Off Books' and when you transition back into College life you may find that you need to develop new strategies to navigate academic challenges and develop learning skills. Try to use your time effectively during the year; plan your approach to returning to studies and maybe even read over previous material or notes.
What help can I expect from SLD?
All learners can struggle and may need to use different learning strategies to those they used previously. The great thing is that you can learn new skills and when you engage appropriate strategies early on, they will stand you in good stead. SLD can support you to maximise your potential and find strategies that work for you.
All 'Off Books' students are welcome to avail of SLD services, including workshops/webinars, appointments and online resources.
