At GCU Students’ Association we have a specialised Advice Centre that is available to all GCU Students from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm via drop in, email, phone or in person and online appointment.  You can contact the Advice Centre using our webform, or by email advice@GCUStudents.co.uk or calling 0141 273 1650.
