Information for Academic Staff / PASS Supervisors

Studies demonstrate that students that attend PASS regularly have a much higher chance of earning a better grade than those that do not attend. This is supported by the UOW PASS Program Results. PASS also aims to provide a learning atmosphere which differs from the traditional tutorial environment. To learn more about PASS please click here or visit our Publications Page. Please visit our comments page to read what lecturers and students have to say about PASS.

The University of Wollongong is the National Centre for PASS in Australia. The PASS in Australia page illustrates the history of PASS in Australia and the current role of the University of Wollongong as the National Centre for PASS.

As the National Centre for PASS, the University of Wollongong has created two DVDs that provide invaluable support with regard to the training of new PASS leaders. These DVDs form an integral part of the leader training program both at Wollongong University and are also used in numerous institutions nation wide.
