Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS)

Woolyungah Indigenous Centre facilitates the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at the University of Wollongong. 

Qualified tutors provide one on one assistance in subject specific areas. 

To be eligible for ITAS, a student must be:

• Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, who identifies as such and accepted in the community in which he/she lives or has lived.
• Enrolled in formal education at UOW either full time or part time or by any mode of distance education, in a course of study leading to a certificate, diploma, degree or other qualification.

What are you eligible for:

• Individual or small group tuition 
• Up to a maximum of 2 hours tutoring per week per subject.

How to apply:

• Complete an application which can be picked up from Woolyungah reception or downloaded here online - Student Application forms
• Attach a copy of your enrolment to your application.

Lodgement of Application:

• You can lodge your form in person at Woolyungah reception (Building 30) or send your form to Michelle Rush, Woolyungah Indigenous Centre, University of Wollongong NSW 2522.

What happens next?

Michelle our ITAS coordinator will endeavour to find a tutor for the subject you require assistance with. On some occasions this is not possible and you can help the process along by locating a tutor yourself. 

Once a tutor has been located then tutoring is able to commence once all the relevant documents have been filled in.
