Uni life has always been about more than just study – it’s about the friendships and the memories you’ll never forget.

As UniSA approaches a new era, we invite you to add your memories to the UniSA Time Capsule, which celebrates a proud history of educating students since the 1850s, beginning with the earliest forerunner of UniSA – the South Australian School of Art. Over the years, students have made lasting memories from pub crawls (yes, they had those in the 1800s too) to study tours, visits from celebrities, and other adventures.

Browse others’ memories, vote for your favourites and don’t forget to add your own too. Contact us at TimeCapsule@unisa.edu.au if you have any questions.

Beware of contract cheating
We are aware that some UniSA students have fallen victim to blackmail as a result of contract cheating. Contract cheating is when someone else completes your academic work, like an essay, quiz or lab report, or even sits exams for you.

You might receive messages through social media (especially Instagram or WhatsApp) from people posing as tutors or offering ‘assignment help’, but engaging with them can seriously harm your academic, financial and emotional wellbeing. Some services even resort to threats or blackmail once you’ve engaged with them.​

Learn more in the Academic Integrity module or talk to a Learning Adviser for guidance. If you encounter advertising of a suspected illegal cheating service, you can report it to TEQSA. If you've been contacted, or if you've already used one of these services and aren’t sure what to do, reach out to a Counsellor for wellbeing support.

Do you have feedback on your program and want to help shape the future of learning at uni? Our Academic Student Representatives (ASRs) can facilitate that!

ASRs play a vital role in listening to your feedback and communicating these with your program directors. If you have ideas for new initiatives and activities, or suggestions to improve learning and teaching, they help ensure your voices are heard. ASRs are only available for select programs, so check the website to find yours.
