SIT is working hard to ensure this disruption has the least impact on your learning and you are not disadvantaged in any way. Some students will already be engaged with online studies. Students should keep in touch with their tutors and share any concerns to help us understand and support your needs.

If you have IT support questions, please reach out to our helpdesk team. 

The Student Support team have complied a list of support services available to both students and staff, across our campuses. This list will be placed on MySIT and Blackboard in addition to being distributed through global emails. Please familiarise yourself with these services.

Managers and team leaders will keep in regular contact with their team members to confirm SIT guidelines are understood, and to check on wellbeing.
