Student Services
Accommodation
We have an Accommodation Board in the refectory. We also have an Accommodation Guide, listing all the properties available to students.

The Student Union Administrator is also on hand to give advice on letting; from legislation to inventories. Unfortunately, we do not have a Halls of Residence or dormitories within the college.
For further info please contact the SU Administrator on +44 (0)1202 436293 or e-mail suadmin@aecc.ac.uk
**** AECC STUDENT ACCOMMODATION ON FACEBOOK****
There is now an AECC student accommodation group on facebook. You can join and help yourself and others look for somewhere to live or a new housemate to fill a room in your house. Ideal for new students starting in September!

** ACCOMMODATION FORUM **
We also have an accommodation forum where you can post ads for accommodation and talk to prospective housemates. Visit the forum here.
Lockers
We have lockers for hire in the college. There are only 336 available and they are issued on a first come first served basis (very handy with all the books you end up buying!). Lockers cost £10, £5 of which is refundable when you enter your clinic year.
NUS Cards
Democracy Card
Once you enrol on the course, you will automatically become a member of NUS (National Union of Students), which our Student Union affiliates to. You will also receive your free NUS democracy card which can be renewed annually from the Student Union office. The NUS democracy cards will be issued at the start of the academic year but you can collect your card from the Student Union at any time. Go onto www.nusonline.co.uk for more info.
NUS Extra
NUS Extra is the definitive student discount card with a range of exclusive discounts, offers and competitions designed to make student life more exciting, memorable and rewarding.
The NUS Extra doubles as an international student identity card, so you can also use it to get special offers and discounts when you're travelling abroad in over 100 countries.
Not bad for just a tenner!

ISIC
These are similar to NUS Cards in that they provide student identification, but these entitle you to discounts on flights, international rail fares and in international stores. Click on www.ISICcard.com to see the discounts available, travel advice and much much more!
Clothing
There is a wide variety of SU clothing available such as polo shirts, hoodies and fleeces. We also sell kitbags and arrange clothing for other parties and Freshers' week. All of these have the AECC logo on and you can even personalise some items with your name. Clothing orders will be taken each term.
Donations & Sponsorships
The students union can provide financial support towards worthy causes (especially promoting chiropractic). If you wish to get sponsorship or receive a donation, we require a written letter stating the reasons why, the amount requested, what it will be used for etc. This will then be discussed at the next meeting.
General Help & Advice
We can also provide you with help and advice on any aspect of student life, via our student union members, NUS qualified representatives (can be contacted via telephone or online) and our own qualified counsellors. We also have leaflets on hand ranging from personal health to local attractions.
If you just need someone to talk to, our door is always open, room 117 in Cavendish House. We also provide student representation at disciplinary hearings. Remember, we represent the student body. If there is anything that you are not happy with, come and speak to us.
