Library, Student Academic Success and Careers Student Services

These consultation sessions have now concluded.

UOW plans to bring together a range of student services on the Ground Floor of the Library to create a more connected and accessible experience for all students.

Key feedback from students

The following feedback was received from students in a consultation session on 14 October, 2025.

The ground floor of the library is a valuable space for group and individual study. It has a good balance of quiet for study but enough noise that you can have a conversation. Any changes to this space shouldn't take away the focus on study.
Students worry that introducing AskUOW services might change the current vibe and disrupt the calm environment.
Careers and academic support are valued but need to be easier to find and access. Having the Student Success Hub in building 19 makes it hard to find. Students agreed that locating this service to the Library would make it more accessible and visible.
The idea of installing computers where students can book appointments and find information was welcomed.
Improvements could be made to make the space more welcoming to Indigenous Students.
Students value the services provided by the Academic Skills Centre within the library and discussed that it was easy to find, locate and loved that they could book appointments and use drop in assistance as needed
