Bridging Semester Students

For students in the bridging programs, your teachers have time allocated each week to provide out of class support. Please email your teacher directly to make a time that works for you. If you are unable to contact your teacher, please email us at collegeservices@adelaide.edu.au.Once you finish your bridging semester, the following services will be available to you.

Tutor Assistance Program (PMP Bridging Students)

To book a TAP session, open your MyUni Calendar and select the session you wish to attend. If you need help making a booking, see your teacher.

Maths Learning Centre (MLC)

The Maths Learning Centre assists everyone with learning and using maths that is part of coursework. If there is anything mathematical in your coursework, you can use the MLC – it doesn’t have to be a maths course. It’s not just for students who are struggling, but for everyone who wants to achieve at a higher level. The Drop-In Centre is open 10am-4pm Mon-Fri during teaching weeks, SWOT and exams. Check the website for opening hours at other times of year.

Arriving at the Drop-In Centre:

When you come to the MLC, you can sit anywhere and one of the staff will come up to you soon and offer help. Other students might have written what course they are doing on the table sign, so you can look to see if other students are doing the same course and sit with them if you want. On a busy day you may be waiting for half an hour or longer. You should bring information about what you want to talk about, such as assignments instructions, notes or books.

What will happen when someone talks to you:

The staff will spend about 20 minutes with you at a time, but you can stay as long as you like and have several conversations. You can talk about doing calculations, interpreting graphs, understanding maths concepts, writing maths so it makes sense, or the process of learning maths. The MLC staff will ask you questions to understand your thinking, and help you gain more confidence and skills to do things yourself in the future.

You can also use the MLC’s online resources, which are organised with a page for each course, and have things such as revision seminars, worked examples and handouts. Past students have found the revision seminars particularly helpful.

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

Peer Assisted Study Sessions or ‘PASS’ is an internationally accredited program aimed at assisting primarily first year coursework students in their transition into University. PASS supports students by providing additional academic assistance in challenging courses. It is a student-run study group external to lectures and tutorials, giving students a chance to address any possible questions they may not have been able to raise during class hours. It is also a great way to build a network of support and friendship with other students in their class, and consolidate knowledge through fun group activities. PASS sessions are free and facilitated by PASS leaders, who are current University of Adelaide students that have recently taken and excelled in their respective course, and who are familiar with its expectations and challenges.

All PASS is being run online during Semester One. Sessions are delivered using Zoom links available through the timetable on the PASS website. For sessions, dates and times please visit https://www.adelaide.edu.au/pass/course-and-session-times
