Note: Learning Advisors provide generic academic and study skills support and cannot provide guidance regarding specific course content. It is recommended to access the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) to be partnered with a tutor who has experience in your chosen field of study, as they can assist with understanding course specific content.
