Student News

As exams continue this week, remember to check MyAdelaide for the location of your exam. A majority (but not all!) will be at Jubilee Pavilion at the Adelaide Showgrounds (that's 15 mins drive from North Terrace campus), or via ProctorU.

A reminder that study support is still available through PASS, the Maths Learning Centre and Writing Centre, whether you are studying on campus or offshore.

And if you're feeling a bit stressed, you can connect 24/7 with your peers through the brand new app, TalkCampus. This handy app allows you to interact safely and anonymously with a worldwide peer network of other students going through similar struggles.

For well-being support, you can reach out to the Counselling Support and Student Care teams.

You've got this! Have a great week 🙂

COVID-19 update

The State government’s COVID-Ready Plan outlines the easing of restrictions in South Australia.

A working group has been formed to plan and implement how the University will manage COVID-19 risks and associated policies once the borders open on Tuesday 23 November. This includes travel on University business.

Full vaccination in conjunction with other COVID-19 safe practices, such as wearing masks and social distancing, provides the best reduction in transmission. Please continue to wear masks indoors when unable to appropriately distance. The University encourages all members of our community who are able to be vaccinated to do so.
