How AU teaches Individualized study.Most AU students take courses that allow them to decide when they will work on the course, submit assignments, and write exams. In other words, study is individualized. Students work through their printed and online learning resources at home, at work, or anywhere else they would like to study. Many courses begin on the first day of any month. Students usually have six months to complete a course, and throughout the course, they have access to qualified tutors. Grouped study.Some students prefer the structure provided by working in a group. In grouped study courses, students work through a course on a pre-set schedule with a group of students in a classroom setting at partner institutions, online, or through some combination of both formats. Student support Our exceptional student support service sets us apart. A network of academic staff, tutors, help desk personnel, support staff and others provide students with information and advice. Tutors give individualized academic help. Advisors assist in choosing courses and planning programs. Counsellors help chart career paths. Library staff give guidance on research and send books in the mail. These and a host of other student services can be accessed easily from one section inside AU's student portal.
