Submit An Item For Student News
Staff and students can submit announcements and events to Student News.
Submissions for 2024 are closed and will re-open on Monday 6 January 2025.
Student News will resume on Wednesday 19 February 2025 and will continue every two weeks on Wednesdays.
The decision to change our publishing date from Friday to Wednesday was made to align with UniSA's student newsletter to ensure updates about Adelaide University are received by students from both Universities on the same day.
