Trusted after-hours academic support for students
At this stage of the semester, whether - and how - students ask for help can often be determined by explicit direction from trusted authorities, e.g., lecturers, coordinators, library staff, and international student support staff.
Along with our on-campus services, such as the Writing Centre, Maths Learning Centre and PASS, available to students between 10.00am - 4.00pm weekdays, the University offers students after-hours and weekend academic support through Studiosity.

What staff can do
Staff encouragement is vitally important when it comes to students identifying legitimate academic support for their academic success, especially when they are working towards submitting major assignments in the first semester of their studies, settling in to a new program, a new University, perhaps even a new city or country.
Use these slides in your next lecture to remind and direct students to their trusted, after-hours support service, Studiosity.
