Course & unit advice
Each course at VU has Course and Unit Advisors (CUAs) to help you. They are the first point of contact if you need administrative assistance and advice relating to your course at VU.
CUAs have a broad range of knowledge and expertise on the coursework programs within their specialist group. They can provide help and guidance with most practical course-related matters.
Ask your CUA about course requirements, choosing or changing units or electives, creating a study plan to fit around your commitments and resolving timetable issues.
CUA enquiries are for current students, and require student login details.
Drop-in sessions
CUAs are available Monday–Thursday at VUHQ to provide in-person support.
