Contact with the University

The university and your lecturers welcome your contact at any time during your study with CSU.

• We encourage direct contact with lecturers via telephone, email, fax or the internet. Office telephone numbers and addresses are supplied to all students, both on the web and in thesubject outline.
• Online forums for each subject are widely used to enable students to exchange ideas with lecturers and other students, discuss subject content and interact with the Subject Coordinator.
• Telephone tutorials enable up to 10 students to participate simultaneously in discussions with their lecturer from their own homes via a telephone network.
• Video-conference lectures/tutorials offer interaction via video image and sound and allow you to communicate face-to-face with your lecturer at a distance.
• Residential schools provide you with the opportunity to interact with fellow students, share your learning experiences and talk to academic staff.
• We encourage you to form student study groups to work together on selected exercises, case studies and group presentations. This is also a way to gain support and help with problem solving

“I am very busy with family life, having two young girls, and a work life which is definitely not 9 to 5 (I am a Salvation Army Officer). The provision of the online forum, as well as complete online access to the facilities of the university (e.g. library) means that I can complete study when it suits me. Whether that's at 3am while I'm feeding the baby, or during my lunch break at work, wherever there's a computer I can access my study material.
It's not what you think... it's better!”
