Distance Students
Support for students from regional campuses
We provide support to all students of the University of Melbourne, including distance students and those who study at regional campuses. However, your first contact should be with your supervisor, the student advisor or counsellor at your campus or institution.
There are a number of ways that we can assist students of Melbourne University's regional campuses:

Individual services
Regional campus students of the University of Melbourne may make an appointment, by phone or email, for a phone consultation to discuss a written draft which has previously been posted/faxed or sent by e-mail. We are also able to answer brief email queries.
