Has accessibility been considered in Options A and B?

Yes, accessibility is a key consideration in both options. Feedback from the University’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and Student Wellbeing teams, as well as students with a declared disability, have guided the project team to ensure that the alternate academic calendars accommodate students with accessibility adjustments.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
