Academic and program advisers
Advisers provide guidance to undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students about unit content and how your course relates to your overall educational and career goals.
For advice on your degree or your Academic Progression, the Faculty Student Centre is your first point of contact, in particular if your Academic Standing is 'Academic Caution', 'Conditional Enrolment', or 'Probation'. Academic Advice is determined by the faculty of your major or first degree of a double degree.
Advisers may refer you to other teams across campus to ensure you get the support and information you need.
Academic Advice may take a variety of forms such as: attending a one-to-one session with a staff member; a phone meeting; an online learning module; improving study skills; attending a lecture; watching a presentation etc.
Before you seek academic advice you should:
- If you commenced prior to 2020, make sure you've read through the personalised study plan you should have received via your student email account.
- Student commencing 2020 onwards will need to read the Handbook for the year you commenced your degree before seeking academic advice. To look up the degree you're admitted to first you need to find the year of admission of your course in the Handbook. The following 2 min guide shows you how to find this information, using the Handbook to find the year of your degree.
