Introducing Franco, the Student Ombud
|
|
Franco is the UniSA Student Ombud. Not sure what an Ombud does? An Ombud is an independent, impartial, confidential service that is there if you need to discuss a problem that you haven’t been able to resolve locally.
So, just in case you experience any problems:
1. For academic matters, talk to your course coordinators and program directors first
2. If you need advocacy help, contact USASA advocacy
3. If you want to log a concern, use the complaints and feedback portal
4.
If all else fails, check out the Student Ombud homepage, email or give Franco a call
