Keep on top of things at university

Here are some suggestions for helping students stay on top of things at university. Encourage them to:

• Make sure they know important university dates, assessment due dates and submit assessment tasks by these dates;
• Meet with teaching staff and/or a faculty student adviser to discuss any problems they may be experiencing with course work;
• Meet with one of the many university student support providers to express any other concerns that may be impacting on their ability to study;
• Accept responsibility for their own learning - be self-motivated, self-directed, self-disciplined, organized and able to manage time efficiently;
• Access and utilise (as required) the numerous services such as the library, learning skills, seminars, IT resources etc. that are available on campus; and
• Get involved in university life beyond study, e.g., sport and recreation, clubs and societies, etc. participation in these activities leads to a balanced life and a fulfilling university experience.
