Student Advocacy
The Office of Student Advocacy provides free and confidential assistance in navigating the rules and regulations of the University. Student Advocates provide an understanding ear regarding your issues, as well as information and advice about policies and procedures.
The most common areas the Student Advocates provide support to students are:
- appeal against final result
- change of Grade applications
- review of Academic Progress and Academic concern
- remission of fees applications
- adverse circumstances and appeals
- resolving issues in HDR candidature
- misconduct allegations
- giving advice with course coordinators and academics
If you aren't sure, or your issue is time-sensitive, please do not hesitate to call or email us using the contact information at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can book an appointment using the below link
