Tell us about textbooks in this brief survey
|
|
As you start working on your assignments, you might find that you need help with finding resources and references. The Library has an extensive resource collection available – check out this video to find out how to access them.
Your textbooks are also an important resource for your study and assessments, so we’re keen to hear about your experiences purchasing, using and accessing your textbooks. Do you find them too expensive, hard to access, or are they of great value? Your feedback will help us assess how we can minimise the number of textbooks you are required to purchase during your program of study.

Get peer study support with PASS and Study Help PALS
|
|
Are you looking for guidance on assessments, study tips and tricks, or specific program support? UniSA offers peer-led academic and informal learning support through two key programs:
Study Help PALS
Study Help PALS are current students who provide friendly and informal study support for referencing, academic assignment writing and study skills at drop-in sessions. |
|
|
|
Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS)
PASS is an internationally accredited and peer-led academic assistance program. You’ll get help understanding key concepts and topics within your course from other students who have previously excelled in the course. You can review course material, improve your study practices to increase grades, and gain techniques to enhance your learning success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access Plan for exam adjustment support
|
|
If you need adjustments for final exams at the end of this Study Period due to a disability or medical condition, you must plan ahead and ensure you have an Access Plan in place before Friday 30 September.
Due to strict timelines associated with exam administration, it will not be possible to accommodate new requests after this date. It is important to arrange an appointment with an Access and Inclusion Adviser prior to this date so that we can ensure your requirements can be met.

Looking at the big picture
|
|
Everything Patrick Rees does is big. His Bachelor of Visual Arts with Honours from UniSA is only one of his three degrees. Now based in Los Angeles, he works in art fabrication, bringing the large-scale artworks of others into being. His company “The Big New”, promotes emerging artists through film, and he dabbles in NFTs, those unique digital artworks turning the artworld on its head.
Patrick and his co-founder of The Big New, Eduardo Ortiz, are striving to build a hybrid company and he credits his education at UniSA, and a subsequent law degree, for providing the skills and confidence to take on major projects – many are years in the making – and diversify into other areas. |
