Many students enrolled in the Faculty of Education are returning to study after a long break or are undertaking a university course for the first time. Students studying by distance may receive assistance by telephone, fax or email contact. They provide free academic support in the fields of language and learning, and mathematics and science. The Centres' aims are to help students realise their academic potential, and to become self-reliant learners through using appropriate learning strategies. Students can visit the Centres at their own initiative, or when referred by academic staff.
Information is available on other student learning centres, see student learning centres .
As part of the Faculty's equity plan, an Academic Liaison Officer is available at each campus to help students with physical, psychiatric and medical issues. The Liaison Officers negotiate with lecturers on students' behalf for reasonable adjustments required to ensure equity of educational opportunity. This may include provision of signers, notetakers, extensions of time, alternative assessment tasks and special exam conditions. PC Labs for general student use are also available on the City campus at Haymarket. A number of mini studios with camera, lighting and playback facilities allow students to videotape and review presentations.
