In Orientation week, there are workshops on all campuses. Check Orientation programs on your campus for more details.
During the semester, you can also attend workshops on topics, such as:

Individual and group consultations
You can use our online booking system to make an individual or group appointment with an Academic Skills Adviser. If you are studying fully online or are unable to visit a campus, you will also need to phone or email the adviser so that an "over the phone" consultation can be organised for your appointment time.
