Academic Language and Learning Success Program (ALLSP)

The ALLSP teamwork with you and your lecturers to help you understand the requirements of your assignments and develop the skills you need to navigate through your course.

Study skills workshops
Study Skills workshops are held on-campus and online.

The workshops focus on developing academic skills like critical thinking, research methods and essay and report writing.

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)
Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are organised group study sessions run by students (PASS leaders) who have successfully completed the unit, so they know exactly what is required.

You'll develop study skills, exam preparation and assessment development techniques specific to your units in a positive learning and study focussed environment.

External Student Support (ESS)
ESS is specifically aimed at online students.

ESS assist in the dispatch of printed course materials, external assignment submission, external examinations and Open Universities Australia (OUA) liaison and administration.

Common units
You'll be required to undertake two out of three common units. The common units aim to develop:
•practical academic skills, including:
•critical thinking
•reading

To assist this, students are provided with the academic skills upfront and are respected and recognised for their diversity in culture, age, economic background and educational attainment.
