Need a space for your online exam?

Do you study at one of our metro campuses, and are you looking for a designated study space for your online exams? The library has you covered!
Unsupervised online exam
Students can utilise either a study room, or the designated study area which offers a mix of PCs and powered BYOD areas.
Invigilated online exam
Students
can utilise a study room or the designated study area, noting students will need to bring a laptop that meets RPNow system requirements. UniSA library computers and laptops cannot be used for invigilated RPNow online exams. If booking an on-campus space for your invigilated RPNow exam ensure:

• You have completed the Mandatory Systems Check and Mandatory Training Quiz ahead of the exam on the same device and in the same location as you will be completing your exam
• Your booking allows you access to the room at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow you to complete the required RPNow checks and verifications before commencing your exam |

Your room booking will also be available for four hours (instead of the usual two) until Saturday 2 July, to give you time to prepare for your exams and complete them stress free.

Nursing graduate Muslima providing telemedicine service in rural Kenya
|
|
A Kenyan-born, UniSA Alum, Muslima Halkano moved to Australia from her hometown of Kinna in 2011 to study a Bachelor of Nursing. She is the first generation in her family to graduate from secondary school and go on to university.
“It was an incredible experience coming from a different country with a different culture. It was a learning process, sometimes it was just an emotional roller-coaster because you are a little bit far from everyone you know. But you learn, and you cope, and you get the best thing out of that: your education at the end of it.”
Muslima
started practicing as a registered nurse in 2014 and quickly discovered an interest in chronic disease management. Having worked in mainstream practices, and then with Indigenous communities, Muslima has now found her niche, working with refugees and new arrivals.
Classified as a refugee health nurse, Muslima works with Survivors of Torture and Trauma Assistance and Rehabilitation Service (STTARS), a not-for-profit organisation that provides services to address a range of physical, psychological and social needs for survivors of torture and trauma.
“I work in the nursing program. It’s a little bit different from traditional nursing because we do home visits for new arrivals and refugees to do comprehensive health assessments, and identify any unmet health needs,” says Muslima.
Muslima
also ensures that the refugees and new arrivals fully understand their diagnoses and how to manage the conditions. She is also a South Australian Fellow with Results Australia, part of a global movement empowering everyday people to advocate for a world without poverty. |
