Academic and Learning Support

You may have concerns with attendance, academic performance or other related issues that place you at risk of not achieving the requirements of your program within the expected duration. If you are at risk of not completing your course on time, MEGA will, accordingly, provide you with ongoing academic support through:

• Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) programs
• course progress intervention and academic support
• scheduled learning and study support sessions
• academic support for students with disability and learning difficulties.

You can access MEGA’s student support services by approaching either the Student Services and Support Officer, Academic Manager or any other staff member. You will receive a Student Concern Form and additional information on how we manage and report any issues of concern or welfare.

All MEGA students have access to our resources and services. We operate under guidelines of fairness and equality, so all students can have access to:

• MEGA’s programs
• services and resources
• Information Technology (IT) centres
• resource centre
• course and learning materials
• academic and administrative staff members
• avenues to lodge and resolve complaints
• student welfare and student support services
• access to personal administrative and academic records.

Students with Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Needs

We identify your LLN needs at all stages of your student experience: pre-enrolment and pre-training assessments, student orientation, and trainer/assessors’ recommendations. MEGA assesses your needs and provides you with a strategy for success. We address your needs through targeted classroom activities and formative assessment over the duration of your program. MEGA may refer students to appropriate English language programs within MEGA or send students to external providers depending on the specific needs of the student. Please see MEGA’s Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) Policy for more details.

MEGA uses the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) as a reference to assess current LLN skill levels.
