Individual assistance in English and mathematics is
available to students enrolled in courses at Swinburne. The
need for tuition may be related to a student's problems
with a mathematics and/or English subject. Alternatively,
difficulties in English or mathematics may affect a
student's progress in a range of subjects of their particular
course of study. Particular attention is given to the
provision of English tuition to students from non-English
Tuition may be short-term to overcome a specific
difficulty or arranged on a weekly basis over a longer
period of time.
This service is available from the houses located at 42 and
44 William Street in Hawthorn and H638 at Prahran.
Understanding staff are available to discuss people's
problems in English and/or mathematics and follow up
with appropriate tuition.
Community Access Programs

Staff are also responsible for providing access to any
members of the community who wish to improve their
English and/or mathematics skills.
Consequently, a variety of courses in mathematics and
English are available at a range of different skill levels from
one-to-one tuition to small group classes. Two return-tostudy
programs cater for those who wish to enter either a
science or humanities course. In addition, courses are
provided with appropriate mathematics and English
content to cater for students interested in sitting an
entrance examination in nursing, the police force,
ambulance service or the fire brigade.
Swinburne Alumni Association
Who are the Alumni?
Former students, former and current staff, and friends of
the University.
What is the Alumni Association?
The Alumni Association enables you to stay in touch with
friends made at Swinburne during your period of study or
employment. The Alurnni Office organises reunions and
other functions. Three times a year all alumni receive
Swinburne News free of charge. In addition, you have the
opportunity to remain involved with your University. As
the University's reputation grows, the value of your own
qualification also increases.
The aims of the Alumni Association are as follows:
to offer services and activities which meet the needs of
alumni members;
to provide forums for alumni to network with their
m
peers;
to encourage alumni to become involved in policy
making within the University;
to raisk funds to support current educational
programs, thus enhancing the University's status and
maintaining the continuing value of Swinburne
qualifications.
On payment of a fee, alurnni can use the library, sports
association, tool library and bookshop.
