Advice and help from your Faculty

Lecturers and tutors are the most immediate points of assistance when you have any questions about course materials assessments or any difficulty you experience in understanding aspects of the course. Lecturers and tutors should also be consulted when medical, personal or emotional problems are affecting your's academic performance.

For research students, Supervisors are useful sources of help and advice concerning research programs.

Each study program also has a Program Coordinator who is responsible for that particular study program. Program Coordinators can provide academic advice and information about rules and requirements of the program.

Postgraduate coursework and research students may also refer to their School or Department's Postgraduate Studies Coordinator for advice and assistance.

All faculty have designated Academic Advisers who are available to assist students with academic decisions - planning of study program, explaining the faculty's rules and regulations, and course selection.

Please ask for the appropriate Academic Advisers at your Faculty or Program Office.
