Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)
- PASS is a free and internationally accredited program which aims to help you understand the key concepts of your course and improve your results.
- PASS is for all students, whether you want to improve from a distinction to a high distinction; a pass to a credit or even just to obtain a pass.
- Access to PASS in Semester One will be via Zoom – find out how to connect with your course PASS group under ‘Assignment Help’ on MyUni.
- All sessions are also timetabled to a PASS space at North Terrace to provide students with a quiet space to access PASS, and meet others.
- More information will be available soon for Waite and Roseworthy-based students.
