Support Services
Language, Literacy & Numeracy Support
If a student’s language, literacy and numeracy skills are not at the required level, the student will be referred to an ELICOS college to achieve the required standard before being enrolled in Wiseman institutes programs. It will be reflected in the new COE.
Pre-Enrolment Support
Students requiring additional support to understand the pre-enrolment information requirements are to be engaged on additional one-on-one sessions to talk the student through the information contained within the student handbook, prospectus and the summary of fees and charges.
Studying & Learning Coaching
Where appropriate to the program, students identified with recognised difficulties in studying and learning are to be scheduled with additional one-on-one support sessions at regular intervals throughout the course program.
Academic Support
To assist students with their assessments, there may be referencing workshops, formatting workshops, language workshops, and plagiarism workshops. Students are advised to contact their respective course trainer or course coordinator/s for any additional academic support.
Counselling
Support
The student counselling service is designed to assist overseas students in dealing with a wide range of problems including homesickness, managing stress, handling conflicts, emotional issues, improving motivation, enhancing study skills, organizing study time and other issues affecting the student.
Visual Impairment Support
Students with visual impairment can be supported by supplying internal learning resources with a larger printed font. Students can also be supplied with audio recordings of learning sessions where available.
Disability Access
All possible allowances may be provided to persons with disabilities. Assessors are to use their judgement in assessing the student’s ability to perform tasks in a safe manner.
USI Help

Overseas Student Support
Close student liaison is to be maintained by the Student Support Manager (SSM) who will act as a central point of contact.
