Help with your studies
Advice about your study path/planning your course
Course advisers are available in each Faculty to talk to you about which subjects you can do and how to plan your whole university course. Ask at the Faculty office for who you should speak to. Your lecturers and tutors are also able to give you assistance with this.
Help with individual assignments, essays, etc
Your lecturers and tutors are usually available at certain times to discuss your work. You can also go to the Language and Study Skills Advisers. There is a LAS unit in each faculty and also a university-wide ESL unit for students whose first language is not English. Language and Academic Skills (LAS) units at La Trobe provide the help that you need to set you on the right path to academic success. In individual or group sessions LAS advisers will assist you with the demands of tertiary studies including writing, reading, note-taking, oral presentations, time management, exam preparation and the related language skills.
At the LAS (ESL) unit we work with undergraduates and postgraduates who use English as a second language. You can have individual appointments to work on your university tasks; you can attend workshops, enrol in an English language unit for credit, and you can come for quick consultations without an appointment, Monday to Friday between 1 - 2.
If English is not your second language you can get help from the other LAS units.
