Student Support Services

At Victoria College of Arts and Design (VCAD), we are dedicated to supporting our students throughout their academic journey. We believe that exceptional service is key to creating a positive and supportive environment.

Student Information and Support

We are your one-stop service for all student-related matters. As the first point of contact for student queries, we ensure you have the best experience at university. Our services include issuing student status letters, Student ID cards, and more. We also facilitate student involvement in college activities such as events, societies, clubs, the ambassadors and student representation programmes.

We reach out to students who miss classes to understand their situation and offer support. We provide advice on alternatives if attendance is not possible.
