Resources for supporting student success

resources

We have put together a collection of resources to help support students, especially during assessment periods. Some of these resources including essay writing tools, new open education resources from the library and general support services.

There are many things that we can do to support students, through helping develop study skills to providing wellbeing support services to those who need it.

Despite learning remotely, we have set in place a series of resources and services available to students to help support them through the semester.
