So, what exactly is remote study? Remote study is when ALL teaching and learning is delivered online, and you won’t be going on campus.
Remote study is for students who are significantly impacted by the pandemic, and it is not possible for them to return to campus (e.g. travel restrictions or health concerns).
If you have chosen to study remotely, here are some key services and support on offer to you:
