It is anticipated that issues of significance to the Centre will receive a wider and more appropriate hearing, resulting in the opportunity for action to result. The consultative group also has more of an educational focus than has been the case in recent years. This trend should see more effort being placed on student and community issues that the Centre has the opportunity of addressing. It should also raise the possibility of accessing outside funding in relation to community oriented projects. Programs and services are monitored by university regulations, audits and academic program regulations.
All programs are subject to evaluation by students at the conclusion of each semester.
To date these evaluations have been overwhelmingly positive and data from them is used to inform unit developments. Performance reviews are undertaken on each student at the end of each semester. Where progress is poor, students are asked to provide an explanation and may be required to demonstrate their commitment by accessing additional support. Students may also be required to reschedule study commitments and provide evidence of assignments having been submitted. Where students have failed an assignment or received a poor grade, they may be given the opportunity of additional support, through Centre staff.
