Disability Services - helping you achieve your goals

Amidst all the excitement of starting a new year at Uni, whether its your first year here or you are a continuing student it can be easy to overlook issues that may impact on your study.

If you have a disability, medical condition or even a short term injury or illness, you may not have thought about how this could affect your studies. Even if you think you will manage fine it may be worth discussing your situation with the Disability Adviser in the Learning and Teaching Unit as soon as possible to avoid possible problems further down the track, e.g. sitting exams.

The Disability Adviser can;

• provide information and advice about disability services
  
• develop individual Disability Access Plans
• provide a range of services and equipment
• support your negotiations with academic staff

If you think any of the above apply to you please make an appointment to see the Disability Adviser ph: 8302 5006.

Good luck with your studies.

Disability Adviser

WELCOME

This is the most exciting time of year. New students everywhere.

Congratulations if you're joining us at Mawson Lakes Campus and starting your degree or diploma.

What do you need to make a great start at uni?

1. Talk to people. You'll need friends in your program and you'll have questions that need answers. Look for people wearing Ask Me shirts. Talk to anyone and everyone. Have fun.
   
2. Attend everything in your orientation program and every scheduled class. Research shows a positive relationship between attendance and success.
3. Stay online and explore UniSA's online environment.
4. Find your way around so you know all the sites that will be useful to you.
5. Check out the essentials: parking rules, trains and buses etc.

Remember staff in the Learning and Teaching Unit and look for our publications. They may prove useful.

All the best,
Helen
