The final Get Wanderlost: A celebration to remember
|
|
Get wanderlost for one last time! This special 25th edition will bring together everything you’ve loved about Get Wanderlost over the years, with a fresh twist.
As usual, we won’t share too much to keep the suspense, but one thing for sure – there will be a well-earned celebration with food, drinks, music and games, to toast the memories we’ve made and the adventures we’ve shared. Tickets are $15 per person, inclusive of all activities and refreshments.
Check out your final clue for a glimpse of what’s to come, and secure your tickets now.
The race may end, but memories stay. In hearts and minds, they never stray. We follow the trail, no hesitation. It's about the journey, not the destination.

Academic integrity matching game |

As part of the transition to Adelaide University, your UniSA email will be migrated to a new Adelaide University (AU) email account in preparation for 5 January 2026.
This is part of the AU student account activation and log on process that we have emailed to all UniSA students, and we ask that you check your UniSA inbox and action the email from the AU Transition Support Team.
For
now, please don’t use your AU account or email unless you’re activating your account and logging onto the myAdelaide portal. We will set up automatic forwarding from your AU email to your UniSA email from 22 September 2025 and you will be able to respond to those emails from your UniSA account.
From 5 January 2026, the migration will be complete and you will receive a communication telling you to start using your AU email as your primary account. Until then, please do not turn off the forwarding. Forwarding will remain in place until all UniSA emails have been fully migrated (between 20 December 2025 and 4 January 2026). For any questions, please contact IT on +61 8 8302 5000. |

Reminder: City East campus network outage |
|
Between 23 September and 3 October 2025, six buildings at the UniSA City East campus will be migrated to the new Adelaide University network. While these upgrades are necessary, they will involve planned outages during the migration period for each building. Visit the UniSA website for updates and to view the planned schedule. |

UniSA’s Magill campus |
