About us
The Division of Student Success focuses on delivery of para-academic support
for students as well as enabling and transition programs through four key
areas: Enabling and Transition Programs, First Nations Pathways, First Nations
Student Connect and Student Skills. Through inclusive practices the division
builds aspiration levels for higher education, enhances participation in
chosen courses of study through retention strategies and enables people to
make smooth transitions into university and the workforce. We work
collaboratively with faculties and divisions, community, and industry to
enhance students' university experience.
We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the
character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we
collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help
their communities grow and flourish. The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra
winhanganha means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a
world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt
University – our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian
knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities – to develop and
spread wisdom to make the world a better place. Harnessing technology, we
thrive as a distributed yet connected community, welcoming and engaging with
people across Australia and the world.
