The key things that stood out about SCU other than the initial high level of communication was the way the particular subjects had been put together, the course content was important to me and it had the right mix of the fundamentals and what's happening in the new world of business admin.

I always knew that they (student support) were there to support me wherever and whenever I needed it. The academics and tutors were also very supportive and encouraging throughout the course.

It's one thing to mention well-being in university strategic plans, but it’s another to put the theory into practice. The Student Success Advisor, in my book, enables Southern Cross University to put their money where their mouth is to actively support students.
