Director's Message

CaRST Online for Supervisors and PGCs is coming soon. ‘Release 2’ has been developed in consultation with Supervisors, PGCs and HDR Convenors and will give Supervisors and PGCs access to their students’ online records to view and comment on activities, development plans and general progress.

We’re excited about these changes and will keep you up to date of progress, release dates and how we can support you.

In the meantime, there are a number of resources available for students using CaRST Online, including reference guides, dedicated technical support and FAQs.
