The Support for Students Policy is required to be reviewed annually. Feedback is being sought on the current policy. Please email epc@adelaide.edu.au by Friday 20 September.
Student Travel Risk Policy and Student Health Assessment and Leave Policy
The Student Travel Risk Policy and the Student Health Assessment and Leave Policy have been approved to be reaffirmed until 31 December 2025, as both policies required only minor amendments, effective immediately. The change in delegation authority for approving student high risk travel to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (External Engagement) resulted in the revised policy being endorsed at the VCE 4/24-31 July 2024 meeting. The Vice-Chancellor and President approved the policy on 13 August 2024. The Student Health Assessment and Leave Policy only required editorial changes and as such, was approved by the Policy Custodian, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic) on 31 July 2024.
