Elite Athlete and Performer Program

As an Elite Athlete or Elite Performer, SCU understands that your sporting or performance requirements can change quickly. As such, Athletes and Performers may choose to alter their study arrangements to compliment their loads. Check out some of the enrolment support that is available to Elite Athletes and Performers.

• Support in requesting an altered study plan to suit competition or performance demands i.e., moving to part-time or full-time study load. 
• Flexibility in course structure and study progression. 
• Support in study on-campu or via distance education. 
• General enquiries relating to your course.
