In need of assistance?

If you need help figuring out which type of break suits you best, or if you have questions regarding leave of absence, notification of illness, or parental leave, then feel free to reach out!

You can contact your program's student counsellor, who can help you identify which type of break might be relevant for you. Find your programme's counsellor here.

You are also welcome to contact the General Student Guidance at AAU. They can help you figure out your options, what each of these involve, and what they might mean for your life as a student. Contact the General Student Guidance here.
