Student Liaison Officer

Our Student Liaison Officers are here to help you make the most of your experience in the Open Foundation Program and can guide you through all aspects of your studies.

From enrolment and course selection to exams, they'll be able to provide personalised advice and connect you with support services should you need them.

Towards the end of your time in the program, they'll be on hand to assist you with your application for your undergraduate degree.

If you would like to speak with your Student Liaison Officer, you can contact them via email at PALS-SLO@newcastle.edu.au or give them a call.
