Assessment of applications

Applications will be reviewed and assessed in accordance with the assessment criteria by a committee of representatives from the Office of Student Life.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome by email following the assessment process.

Ongoing support for successful applicants

Student Life will provide a training session for successful applicants, offering practical guidance on capturing the University experience, boosting registrations and engagement, inspiring your audience, and leading a team effectively. In addition, Student Life staff will schedule regular check-ins to help ensure your project stays on track for success.
