Exploring Learning & Teaching 

Monday 12 February – Friday 16 February 

Hosted by the , this five-day intensive workshop offers a practice-based learning experience with peers that introduces you to important aspects of learning and teaching in the higher education context. 

This program is ideal for anyone who is new to teaching or looking to consolidate their teaching practice. 

The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) recently announced that ANU has been reaccredited for the next seven years without condition. 

Seven years is the maximum registration period awarded by TEQSA, which is a brilliant endorsement of both ANU and everyone who was involved in securing this outcome.  

Spanning from early 2021 to mid-2023, the project to prepare the re-registration application comprised four working groups and included consultation and collaboration with 18 areas across the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, with final endorsement provided by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and approval by the Vice-Chancellor.

The 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s registration will continue up to 13 December 2030. 

As a registered provider of higher education to domestic and overseas students in Australia, ANU is required under legislation to include particular registration details on .

The easiest thing each staff member can do is update their own email signature according to the .

Last year, the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø ran an EOI process for the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation). We received strong interest in the role and number of excellent applications.

A formal announcement on the outcome of the search is expected to be made by early February.

In the meantime, Professor Ann Evans will be stepping into the role as Interim D51³Ô¹ÏÍø (R&I) until late February.

To stay connected to our community and leadership team, keep reading On Campus every Tuesday for updates on key new appointments and movements. 

Under the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s new , staff are able to elect to substitute any public holiday for an alternative day off in lieu, subject to the operational requirements of the business unit.

If you wish to request this for the upcoming public holiday on Friday 26 January, you are encouraged to have a discussion with your supervisor prior to this Friday.

Ensuring that access lists for buildings on campus and ANU mailboxes are regularly checked for accuracy and relevance is of paramount importance for maintaining a secure and safe environment at ANU.

The ANU UniSafe Security Team recommends local areas perform monthly access list reviews to ensure that only authorised individuals have access to specific areas and mailboxes, reducing the risk of unauthorised access, security breaches and potential threats.

ANU Security also reminds supervisors to review building and mailbox access during the off-boarding process.
