What is Peer Assistance?
Peer Assistance is when a fellow student shares their experience to help you improve your student experience.
What Peer Assistance services does UNE offer?
UNE has two types of academic peer assistance service for students: PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) and PAM (Peer Academic Mentoring). Both options are free for UNE students and offer you the chance to meet other students in a friendly and informal setting.
PASS is a unit-specific, group online study session, whereas PAM is academic-focused support that's available for all undergraduate students via a one-on-one online appointment.
PASS@UNE services are funded by NBF (Needs Based Funding).

PASS - Peer Assisted Study Sessions
PASS provides regularly scheduled, peer-facilitated study sessions - online via Zoom, with select offerings on campus. PASS creates an informal, supportive and interactive space that is student-driven, where you can collaboratively process unit material, clarify concepts, strengthen study skills, and connect with your fellow students. It's dedicated study time that helps reduce the isolation of online study, fostering a deeper connection to your studies and UNE. -
PAM - Peer Academic Mentoring
PAM offers confidential, one-on-one support, available seven days a week with experienced peer Mentors. Connect with a peer Mentor to explore ideas, navigate UNE resources, and collaboratively break down questions to find personalised solutions. Our Mentors are fellow students who understand the challenges of study and are here to help you feel more connected to your studies and UNE. It's a supportive space designed to foster your academic confidence.
Commercial academic contract cheating services are illegal in Australia. They are damaging to Higher Education and cheat students out of more than just their degree.
