Student Success Officers

The Student Success team is here to partner with you throughout your studies at JCU Australia. We offer free, personalised support to undergraduate and postgraduate students, with a focus on your strengths, goals, and practical next steps.

We support students across all study modes; internal, external and multimodal, and meet you where you’re at in your study journey.

Our support can include:

  • Working alongside you to stay on track and build confidence in your study progress
  • Talking through any challenges you may be experiencing and co-creating practical plans that play to your strengths
  • Connecting you with the right specialist services at JCU or in the wider community
  • Assisting you to understand JCU processes, policies and administrative requirements related to your study or assessment

There’s no limit on how often you can connect with us. Whether it’s a quick check-in or ongoing support, our team is here and happy to help, and we’d love to hear from you.
