Welcome to the Division of Arts, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences. The Division supports and encourages our Pacific students in their academic pursuits through various activities and initiatives offered by the Division of Arts, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences Pacific Student Services.
The Division also collaborates with the central Pacific Support team and the various Pacific student groups at University, providing services to students studying at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Through these networks the aim is that students will establish a supportive social and cultural environment to promote academic success.
Pacific Student Services
Within the team, we have a dedicated Student Services Administrator who can help with enrolments, programme & course planning, and academic support. We also have two Pacific mentors who can provide assignment advice, pastoral care, and cultural assistance.
Our mentors are based at J.G.04 on scheduled days during semester weeks. All students are welcome to talk to the mentor during office hours or email [email protected] for an appointment.
Workshops and Events
The Division offers a range of academic workshops and social events for our Pacific students throughout the year. In collaboration with Student Learning, there are workshops around examination preparation, essay writing and APA referencing. We have events for students to network and meet with other Pacific family and share their culture. These events include our Pacific Welcome, Motivate with kai and kava, Pit Stop, and Fiafia Evening.
