22.01.2022 BREAKING: Federal Education Minister, Dan Tehan, announces that students will lose their access to the HELP/HECS Scheme if they don't perform in their studies. This mornings announcement means that if a student fails to progress sufficiently in their degree, they will lose access to the HECS scheme, having to pay upfront fees to continue to study or leave their degree. The NUS and ACUNSA rejects the assertion from Minister Tehan that this package is taking action to protect... students and taxpayers. An overwhelming majority of domestic students rely entirely on the HECS system to study. Limited access to study, financial instability, education quality, disability, and the ongoing crisis of mental health in the student body are just some of the impediments to student success. These are issues that are often unreported and receive inadequate support from tertiary institutions or The Government. Students will have the future of their study taken away from them unless they prove to the university or the government, institutions that systematically fail to support young people, that they are struggling. the Job-Ready Graduate Package is promoting a pay for play higher education sector that will put extreme pressure on students to succeed at universities. It is an agenda to incentivize success through fear of punishment, which will only harm the wellbeing and success of our students. Read the NUS full statement below:

21.01.2022 We know we have been MIA for the past few weeks but here is an update of some of the things ACUNSA has been doing: - Weekly meetings with the University Executives and collaborating to provide the best online experience for all students - We are finalising a survey that will be distributed later this week to get a deeper understanding of your online experience so far. We have also had significant discussions with ACU executives about the following:... Extending the census date: - The outcome is that ACU would not extend the Census date but work to personalise their approach for affected student Reducing fees: - It has been put forward and found that online classes cost the same if not more to run than face-to-face so no fees will not be reduced No Fails for the Semester: - This is a target that ACUNSA is working on, keep an eye out for the outcome at a later date. Until then, if you have any questions, concerns or ideas you would like to raise, please get in contact with us. You can either message us here or email us on [email protected] Australian Catholic University (ACU) Aquinas Student Association - ACU Ballarat McAuley Student-Association Brisbane MacKillop Campus Student Association- ACU Signadou Student Association - SSA Canberra Mount St Mary's Student Association St. Patrick's Student Association - ACU Melbourne
