Curtin Sarawak is yet to establish its Student Learning Support department. The Learning Center (link to Learning Center Webpage) will provide platforms throughout the semester for students to address varies learning difficulties. Do look out for ‘Friday specials’ sessions in which students can address social and career related issues. You can approach the Director of Teaching and Learning to discuss other learning support needs you may have:
Parents Initially your child may need a fair amount of support and encouragement. Some students adjust very well to the university environment. Others may feel like a fish out of water. Similarly, some adapt to the new learning methods easily while others find the lack of close monitoring of their progress and completion of tasks surprising. They will soon realise that they have much more control over their study than they did at school. If your child seems unsettled about his/her new situation, try to put them at ease and ensure them that moving away from the security of the school system is an essential transition to independent learning, regardless of whether they choose a university education. Curtin is an ideal and supportive place to exercise and experiment with this freedom. Allow them to explore their own methods of time management and self-motivation that they will need to develop throughout their studies and guide them wherever possible. Encourage your child to seek advice from within the University if they have specific issues that need attention.
