Course Advice Appointments
What can a course adviser help me with?
Course advice appointments are available to help you with course-related enquiries, for example course structure and requirements.
Our staff will be also be able to advise you of your options in terms of potential career outcomes and progression into postgraduate qualifications at the University, as well as providing information about the full range of options available to you at the undergraduate level. On occasion, if you need detailed advice relating to a specific discipline we may need to refer you to another Student Centre.
There are some types of queries course advisers cannot assist with, for example:
For in depth career advice please contact the University Careers and Employment service;
For advice on professional accreditation, please contact the organisation from whom you are seeking the accreditation (for example, the CPA, ICAA, NIA or IAA). Some additional information on membership of professional bodies can be found in the Course Planning Guide.
Have you read the Handbook?
Before your appointment you should ensure you have read the Handbook thoroughly. The answers to many students' questions are available in the Handbook. You may find that you do not need to see a course adviser after reading the Handbook. In this case, don't forget to cancel your appointment!
Quick question?
If you have a quick question you can email a course adviser at commerce-courseadvice@unimelb.edu.au. Don't forget to include your student id number.
