Student Equity Officers (SEOs)

In 1997 the role of the Faculty Disability Contact Officer (FDCO)was formalised in the Academic Board approved "Guidelines for Alternative Examination Arrangements". FDCOs are designated faculty representatives, nominated by the Dean, who fulfill the role of approving and processing Alternative Examination Arrangements (AEA) that are applied for by students with disabilities and DLU.

Whilst still fulfilling this primary function, the role of the FDCO has evolved over time due mainly to increased numbers of students with disabilities, increased confidence of FDCO staff and more effective networking and liaison with the DLU. FDCOs now provide an invaluable link between students, the Disability Liaison Unit, faculties and departments for communication, administrative processes and information.

In 2009, the Students Experiencing Academic Disadvantage policy came into effect and the role of the Student Equity Officer (SEO) incorporporated much of the new work and liaison being undertaken by the FDCO's.
