Study Support for Trimester 2: Resources to help you succeed

Can you believe we’re already in the second week of Trimester 2? Before assessments and coursework start to ramp up, now is the perfect time to make the most of the support services available to you. The Library and Learning and Study Skills Hub offer a range of resources designed to help you build confidence, strengthen your academic skills and succeed in your studies. 

Meet the Study Skills Peers 

This week, you’ll start to see our Study Skills Peers around the Libraries at Gold Coast, Nathan and Logan campuses. 

Available: Monday to Thursday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm 

Study Skills Peers can help you: 

  • get started on your assignments 
  • develop effective study habits 
  • improve academic skills. 

Drop into the Library and have a chat to learn more about how they can support your academic journey. 

PASS sessions are starting 

This week also marks the beginning of PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions). 

PASS sessions are: 

  • one-hour group learning sessions 
  • tailored to specific courses 
  • facilitated by students who have previously completed the course with outstanding results 
  • a great opportunity to review content, ask questions, and learn alongside your peers. 

To find out whether your course is supported by PASS, check your course Canvas site or check the PASS supported courses page. 

Student support resources in Canvas 

Don’t forget that a wide range of study support resources are available directly through Canvas. 

Within your course page, you’ll find the Student Support tab in the left-hand menu. This provides quick access to: 

  • Learning and Study Skills Hub resources 
  • Library study and assessment support 
  • IT support services 
  • guidance on the use of AI in your studies 
  • other helpful support services. 

Remember: You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. Whether you need help developing study strategies, understanding course content, or finding the right support service, there are plenty of resources and peers available to help you succeed this trimester.
