These programs and services are designed to support you through your studies and assist you in developing strong academic skills. They build on the bridging programs to give you more comprehensive information and support. 

Successful Transitions

Weekly one-hour Learning Development workshops which cover academic skills including essay writing at university, report writing, research, critical thinking, reading and note taking, time management etc. These workshops are designed to be relevant to your assessment tasks. Workshop times are advertised on the campus timetable.  

PASS

Peer Assisted Study Sessions go for 1 hour each week in selected first-year subjects. They are facilitated by PASS Leaders, current students who have already successfully completed the subject and designed to maximise students’ understanding of the subject, in a casual and relaxed environment. PASS usually targets tough subjects which over time have proved challenging for many students. Session times are advertised on the campus timetable.  

Learning Development consultations

ITAS

Each eligible student can receive 2 hours per week, for each subject. Extra hours are available for exam preparation.  

Disability support

For students who have a disability or health issue that may impact their studies. Where applicable, students are assessed at the start of the semester to see if they require reasonable adjustment and support for their studies and to complete assessment tasks. A Disability Liason Officer is available at UOW Eurobodalla on a regular basis throughout the semester.  

Counselling
