FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR

A Message from VC Professor David Lloyd and USASA President Ms Grace Dixon
|
First let us welcome you – new students and those returning for further studies – to your UniSA campus.
You’re on an intellectual journey of discovery that will open your minds and hearts to new ideas, new people and new experiences. But all students need to know there are some behaviours we do not tolerate.
At UniSA we’re committed to providing a safe and inclusive university community that’s free from sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination and sexual assault. We want you to feel safe and supported while you are studying with us and we will do everything in our power to foster an inclusive environment for you.

What Does Census Date Mean to You?
|
Sunday 31 March is Census Date for Study Period 2.
If you wish to drop a course you must do so prior to the relevant census date in each study period. If you withdraw after the census date you will still be charged the relevant course fees, and the course(s) will be recorded on your academic record.
If you're feeling unsure about continuing your study, whether you’re in the right degree, or perhaps experiencing personal difficulties or having concerns about money, get help with managing your course load by contacting
Campus Central.
