Course Advising - Because life happens
Collaborating with students to achieve their goals and complete their courses
Studying at UNE can be a rewarding and inspiring opportunity, and yet we also recognise that most students experience other responsibilities and life events that make study complicated. The UNE Course Advising Team is available to work with you through these complexities, offering confidential, student-led conversations. We work with students to understand their unique circumstances and goals, and plan for course completion.
Our service is available to both undergraduate and postgraduate UNE students, no matter what stage of your study journey you are at.
