Update on COVID-19 measures at UniSA
|
|
As we continue to manage the COVID-19 situation, we want to ensure that we are doing all we can to provide a safe and healthy campus environment. So this year, we are continuing with some of the initiatives we introduced in 2020, including:
• Lectures and exams will be delivered online until at least mid-year
• Tutorials, studios, workshops and practicums are proceeding on campus with the appropriate health and safety protocols in place
• Placements will go ahead where the external provider can support the arrangements
• Rooms will have limited capacity – please read the signs and make sure you don’t exceed the limits
• Hand sanitiser and hand washing stations are available across each campus – remember to regularly wash or sanitise your hands
Remember
to also look after the health and safety of those around you – cough or sneeze into your elbow, and most importantly stay home if you feel unwell.
Learning and working in a respectful and safe environment is important too, so please read our Code of Conduct for Students, and contact Campus Security if you need assistance.
For more information, tips and advice around COVID-19, please check our FAQs page. |

Get ready to be surprised again with our newest Get Wanderlost adventure.
For only $15 per person, you will get transport to and from the destination, lunch and activities.
Here's your clue for this event:
Although we're unable to travel to foreign lands; across seas, mountains and sand. We'll take you on a journey to meet with international travellers, who prowl on grassy ground and don a coat of fur. Some of them will hide, some of them will glare, some of them tower over you, and some of them bite, beware!
Get Wanderlost is a great opportunity for you to go on an adventure with your friends, and make new friends too. Tickets are limited, so book in fast.
Please
note that due to limited capacity, you are only able to book up to two Get Wanderlost events each year. |
