How our Student and Academic Services can help you
On this page:
Welcome
Welcome to the Faculty of Science at Victoria.
The Student and Academic Services Office offers a range of services that covers all student-related matters from applications/enrolment to graduation. Our aim is to create a client-focused, friendly environment where all who visit our area not only feel welcome, but also receive support and advice of high quality.
There are three advisors who perform both generic and specialist student administration functions in support of all undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in taught programmes. A fourth advisor manages the candidatures of thesis students.
You are most welcome to contact us by phone/e-mail or meet with us in the Faculty Office in Cotton 144. We are available from 8:30 to 5 on weekdays except for Tuesday mornings when we open at 9:30. Formal appointments are not required.
We hope you enjoy all aspects of your time at Victoria University and that the Faculty Office we will add to the quality of your experience.

Student Advisers
Student Advisers are your first point of contact for things like admission requirements, degree planning, changing courses and transfer of credit from other tertiary institutions. They also deal with enrolment, organise exams and maintain student records.
The advisers will provide administrative support throughout your study. For continuity of personal service, please contact an adviser based on the first letter of your surname:
-
Thesis students are managed by Patricia Stein
-
International students should contact Victoria International.
The Associate Dean (Students and Postgraduate Research) is also available for help with academic programmes and with any other issues which may prevent you from achieving your full potential at university.
