Study Support
At Cover we like to offer study support to our members. We have a dedicated committee to study support called the StudCee. The StudCee create several support lectures which occur just before the exam period every term. They also host our Exams & Summaries website where members are able to submit their old course summaries as well as exam material they come accross. Recently they have also created the tutoring system CACTuS that is available to all members of Cover.Other questions about studying which aren't related to the degree programme can be handled by the Student Service Centre. They can help with efficient studying, studying with learning disorders and can offer help in the form of student counsellors and psychologists.
