The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

Student success is everyone’s concern on university campuses yet attrition rates can be stubbornly difficult to manage. Universities feared that a forced shift to online learning would result in an increase in drop out rates. While that might not have happened at every institution initially, attrition remains a challenge made more complex by the pandemic.

Join a panel of experts from Australia and the UK to discuss how Covid-19 has influenced dropout rates and how universities should approach attrition in light of dire economic and job market forecasts post-pandemic, as well as long-term plans for hybrid models of learning.
