Admission and Enrolment Support

Our friendly staff are always on hand to provide information and assistance to prospective and continuing students on admission and enrolment procedures.

Southern Cross University recognises that Indigenous people possess skills other than those gained through formal schooling and these will be seriously considered in determining qualification for entry to courses offered through Gnibi.

  • Have an assessment and feedback session with academic support staff.
  • Be provided with an opportunity to meet with Course Coordinators of various courses.
