Support for Students Policy
In January this year the University implemented a new Support for Students Policy, outlining how we provide academic and personal support to students. As a result, other policies that support our students have been reviewed this year, including Academic Progress by Course Work Students, and MACA. 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.
