Course Problems
If you have problems concerning a course you are taking, it is best in the first instance to speak directly to the lecturer concerned. You can also take up your concerns with the Head of School. Many courses and programs have student representatives, and you may find it useful to direct your concerns via them. The ANU Students’ Association (ANUSA) has two Student Representatives in the College of Arts and Social Sciences who can help you with problems or concerns that you may have with your course or degree.  They can help you by talking to lecturers or tutors on your behalf, help you address your concerns with assessment, and give you advice about appeals procedures.  They also sit on a number of College Committees, so let them know if you have complaints or suggestions for improvement about your courses or about facilities and services more generally.  You can contact them by emailing them at arts.facrep@anu.edu.au or visit the ANUSA website for more information http://sa.anu.edu.au
