  • I want to change tutorial groups.
    You will need to find a student from another group to swap with. Once you have that information, please see Wendy Nas, the Course Administration Officer - Bachelor of Nursing, in Building M206.

  • My study load is too heavy and I want to reduce it.
    See Wendy Nas, the Course Administration Officer - Bachelor of Nursing. She will be able to show you what will happen if you drop units, and work out an alternative pathway with you. Your new pathway will have to be approved by the School of Nursing and Midwifery (SNM).

  • I am not understanding a unit I am undertaking.
    First of all, see the tutor of the unit. It may be a case of just sitting down with them and talking through some of your concerns.
    Next, please contact the unit coordinator.  If this doesn't work, click here to see whom to talk to. 

  • I don't understand my timetable.
    Contact Wendy Nas in Launceston, Chloe Harrison in Hobart, Tiffany Ponsittinat in Darlinghurst or Dessy Ukar in Rozelle.

  • I need a unit outline or reading list for my unit.
    All unit outlines are available through the MyLO site. 

  • I need to know about the financial aspects.
    You need to visit the UTAS Course Costs web page. There you will find information for financial assistance.

  • I'm having some personal problems, and need to talk to someone.
    You need to visit the Student Centre. They have trained counsellors available to help you at no cost.

  • I haven't studied for years and really need help with essay writing.
    There are several things you can do:
    1. You can book a learning skills appointment for advice and help.
    2. Find out more about assignment task planning and looking for information for your essay.
    3. You can go and see your tutors in the individual units and receive feedback on specific assessment items. 

  • I need support with Human Bioscience.
    You will need to see Janine Tarr at the School of Human Life Sciences.

  • I need help with Society Culture and Health
    You will need to see Santi Rozario at the School of Sociology.

  • I want to change my enrolment and do another course
    We recommend that you talk to Wendy Nas in Launceston or the Associate Heads of the respective campuses before withdrawing. If you still decide to withdraw, you will then need to withdraw from the Bachelor of Nursing in writing and apply for another course. Please see Student Centre. It is important that you make decisions about this before the census date for each semester, as this is the cut-off date. You will be charged for a full year of study in the units you have withdrawn from, if you withdraw after this census date.
