Student Equity Division
We support the University to promote social justice, widen university participation, support under-represented groups across the student life cycle, and harness student equity and diversity to improve learning quality and the overall student experience.
About us
Situated in the DVC (Students) portfolio, the Student Equity division includes:
- the Centre for Higher Education Equity and Diversity Research (CHEEDR)
- Institutional Research
- Educational Partnerships, school and community outreach (including In2Science), and related University pathways, and
- enabling and related curriculum, including the Tertiary Preparation Program (TPP) and Prepare for La Trobe pathway.
We are responsible for the oversight and reporting of the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP).
We also support the University to meet the objectives outlined in the Student Equity and Diversity Plan (2020-2022 [PDF 292 KB). The objectives of the plan are to:
- expand access for under-represented students
