Student News

Welcome to the last edition of Student News for 2021. And what a year it's been!. While Covid has caused more disruption this year, we have been hard at work as usual, providing ID cards, exam support, supporting HUB events and activities, running O'week, producing letters and transcripts, continuing to improve the Ask ADEL website and helping students in a myriad of other ways.

From all of us at Ask Adelaide, we wish you all a happy, peaceful and safe festive season, and look forward to welcoming you back in 2022. 😊🎁
