Study Matters
How can I manage my time more effectively?
Time planners might be the thing for you.
A semester planner allows you to keep an overview of all assessment dates and to plan your activities around it.
A weekly planner might be helpful as a weekly planning tool or as a logbook to monitor how you actually spend your time.

My personal situation is affecting my studies. What can I do?
A counsellor can help you to better manage your personal situation in relation to your studies.
If your personal situation stops you from completing an assignment, sitting your final exams or continuing with the same workload after the census date, we would assess you and, if appropriate, support you with an application for academic concessions on personal grounds.
Make yourself familiar with reasons and procedures when and how to ask for academic concessions before you get too distressed. You’ll find all up-to-date information on the web about
- Deferral of exams
- Appeal against academic decisions (course status or results in singe units)
- Assignment extension
- Important census dates for discontinuing a unit or course without occurring financial or academic penalties
Where ever possible, it is easier for us to help you if you contact us as soon as the problem arises rather than waiting until the deadline has passed or your personal crisis is over.
