First Year Advice – Disclaimer:

The following are agreed-upon responsibilities that Country Universities Centre (Centre) will carry out to support success:

  • While Country Universities Centre FYA program aims to support students with transition to academic study, the FYA takes no responsibility for performance in assessment tasks.
  • The FYA will provide transition support in “sessions”. One session equals 45 minutes for students registered with the Country Universities Centre.
  • The FYA is available for support with transitioning to study for first-year students including navigating your portal, time management, study hints and tips, and explanation of the CUC Academic Advice program.
  • The FYA will not provide academic skills or content/subject-specific support.

Students will:

  • Be required to supply detail about the nature of support needed, and any materials that will assist the FYA in preparation for your session 48 hours before your booked time.
  • Be required to attend your session on the date and time agreed with the FYA, noting that each session can be changed if both parties agree.
  • Accept that each session is limited to 45 minutes; subsequent sessions may be booked. Maximum of 3 FYA sessions.
  • Accept that the FYA will record the date, time, subject, and advice provided for each session. This information may be shared with other CUC staff to support you in future sessions. All information disclosed in your session will be treated in accordance with the (specific Centre privacy collection policy).
  • Accept that feedback is essential to monitoring the success of the support provided, and at times you may be asked to give an unidentified evaluation.
  • Accept that the FYA may refer students to other academic support providers through university or independent providers. Any affiliated agreement with Country Universities Centre will not determine preferred providers.
