Other Student Support Services
DIC provides a range of non-academic student support services in line with its Student Welfare and Support Services Policy and Procedure. The students’ first point of contact is the Student Support Officers that are available at the front desk or via email at info@dellainternational.edu.au to assist with all their nonacademic related enquires and direct them to the most appropriate academic for all academic-related enquires. All Student Support Services staff is available Monday to Sunday 9-5pm.
As explained within the Student Welfare and Support Services Policy and Procedure all the support services that are external to DIC are accessible through a referral service. Any referrals made by DIC are at no cost to the student, but fees and charges may apply where an external service is used by the student, and when referred students are reminded this should be clarified by the student prior to using such external services. Our Student Support Officers can either provide assistance or direct the students to access support during times of stress or pressure during the course. Students may make an appointment for advice relating to the study, such as:
-
- time management issues.
- setting and achieving learning goals.
- motivation
- ways of learning.
- managing assessment tasks; or
- Self-care.
Where students experience personal or social and emotional issues, they have access to a Student Support Officer during DIC’s hours of operation to gain advice and guidance on personal, accommodation, or family/friend issues. Additionally, DIC has an MOU with ‘Tonic Psychology’ counselling services, which have been promoted to staff and students for Zoom, FaceTime, and telephone consultations. During the pandemic, academic and administrative staff have continued to make themselves available to support students.
If the need arises to seek additional services, the Student Support Officers maintain a list of the contact details of appropriate external support services. These are also available in the student handbook.
