Academic Support

Academic mentors are available on campus. Mentors offer one-on-one advice and provide skill building exercises in a range of areas, including: planning and researching written work; researching requirements and tools; strategies for editing work; referencing skills; time management; oral presentation skills and examination strategies. Through this service students can target concerns early and avoid losing marks due to lack of knowledge of the requirements of academic assessment.
