Support at Kent: What’s new and where to find it

As you get ready to return to campus, we’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for academic advice, wellbeing support or just need to know where to go with a question, here’s what’s new and where to find it.

📍 New Locations for Support Services

We’ve made a few changes to make it even easier for you to access the help you need:

• Student Support and Wellbeing – Now in Eliot Extension (Canterbury)
  Our brilliant Student Support and Wellbeing team has moved to a new home in Eliot Extension. They’re here to support you with mental health, disabilities, neurodivergence and learning differences. You can also access free, confidential counselling and 24/7 mental health support through Spectrum Life.
• Careers and Skills – Now in Rutherford Extension (Canterbury)
  Looking for career advice or help finding part-time work? The Careers and Employability Service has joined forces with Skills for Academic Success in their new shared space in Rutherford Extension. It’s your one-stop shop for planning your future and boosting your academic skills.
• Nexus – Now also in Sibson and the Medway Building
  Got a question but not sure where to go? Nexus is your go-to help point and now you can find them in both Templeman Library, Sibson and Medway Building. Even more staff will be based there this year, so you’re more likely to get your query sorted on the spot.

💛 Support that’s always with you

You can also access support anytime through My Kent website or the My Kent app. Here’s a quick reminder of what’s available:

• Academic support from your Academic Adviser, who’ll be in touch when teaching starts.
• Cost of living help, including meal deals, financial support, and tech access.
• Health services on campus, including a GP surgery, pharmacy, and 24-hour nursing during term time.
