Conditions of entry

  1. Failure to fully complete the questionnaire will exclude a respondent from entry to the free prize draw.
  2. The closing date for entry into the prize draw is midnight 05th April 2023. Failure to participate prior to the closing date will mean the respondent will not be eligible to be entered into the prize draw.
  3. The respondent must be a currently enrolled student at the institution and completed the survey before the last day of the survey (06th April 2023.) in full in order to qualify for entry into the prize draw and must not be owing outstanding debts to the institution or otherwise be in legal dispute with the institution.
  4. Macquarie University, the survey administrator, will directly notify the winner of their prize draw via student email. With the winner's consent, the full name of the weekly winner will be published on MQ Students Facebook page and in the student newsletter, ‘The Feed’. (Please note: The survey administrator will extract the student number and the email address of the students who completed the survey to complete the draw. No other survey data will be used for this purpose).

Additional information

  1. The nature of the prize(s) is stated on the survey landing page and a cash alternative cannot be substituted.
  2. The prize draw will be administered by Macquarie University, who will endeavour to ensure that the winner(s) will be notified no more than 2 weeks after the closing date unless otherwise stated on the landing page of the survey.
  3. The winner(s) must respond to the prize notification email within one week of receiving the email. Failure to respond the first prize notification email will result in the prize being deemed to be unclaimed. It will then be at the discretion of the prize administrator at the institution as to whether another winner will be selected, or the prize will not be reallocated.
  4. The closing date for entry will not be changed unless circumstances outside the reasonable control of the draw organisers make it unavoidable.
  5. Extending the closing date for entry will not be acceptable unless the draw organisers can show that unforeseen factors apply and that existing participants will not be disadvantaged in any way.
  6. Withholding prizes can only be justified if participants have not met clear criteria set out in the rules above and/or, if applicable, on the landing page of the survey.
  7. Winner(s) in the prize draw will be selected by Macquarie University in a manner that ensures fair application of the laws of chance. The process by which winners will be selected involves a clear audit trail and an independent draw. (This process can be explained to individual respondents if requested.)
