Welcome to Indigenous Student Services
About Us
Indigenous Student Services (ISS) provides services for all Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander students across the university and has five
on-campus ISS Centre locations: at City West and City East Campuses,
Magill, Mawson Lakes and Whyalla and at three off-campus centres at
Ceduna, Port Lincoln and Port Augusta.
ISS is a coherent unit within the David Unaipon College of Indigenous
Education and Research within the Division of Education, Arts and Social
Sciences of the University of South Australia. It was consolidated in
February 1996 as a consequence of a major review into Aboriginal and
Islander support services at the University of South Australia. Since
that time ISS has helped many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
students graduate from this university.
An Indigenous Academic Advisor provides a variety of services to each of
these centres including assistance in connecting students to all other
services that the university provides.
Indigenous Student Services also coordinates and highly recommends the
Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS), which connects students
with academic tutors for each of the courses in which they are enrolled.
This service is commonwealth funded and tutoring is provided free of
cost to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
The Indigenous Academic Advisors and I look forward to providing the
services to assist you to successfully complete your university program.
