University Student Support Package
We are committed to supporting our students through the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership with the Adelaide University Union and student representatives, we have designed a targeted聽Student Support Package to meet our students' needs.
There are three聽key aspects of the Student Support Package:
- Academic Support
- Wellbeing Plan
- Emergency Financial Support
Academic support
In response to the potentially disruptive impact of COVID-19 on our students' studies, in 2020 we developed a series of grading adjustments. The grading adjustments maintained in eligible teaching periods in 2021 comprise:
- Pass Non-Graded (PNG): All students will be given the option to choose whether to have any passing grade converted into a pass non-graded (PNG). If students choose this option, their PNG聽will not count towards their grade point average (GPA) calculations. Students will be given this option following, rather than prior to, receiving their results
- Results Pending (RP):聽RP can be utilised where components of courses are postponed to subsequent teaching periods.

Wellbeing plan
Maintaining good mental and physical health is a critical part of our response to the COVID-19 crisis. Working in partnership with our students we have created our Wellbeing Plan. This is our聽pathway to:
- supporting students through these challenging times
- building resilience
- creating strong community connections
- ensuring our students thrive
