Services and specialist register

The aim of USQ's Elite Athlete Program is to assist student athletes in balancing their sporting and academic commitments. To assist you in finding the 'right fit' in sport and study, please contact the Elite Athlete Coordinator for further assistance.

As a student athlete, you should approach your lecturer in the first instance. If further support or assistance is required the Program Coordinator can assist with organising some of the following support services:

  • assignment extensions and deferred exams requests
  • timetable and study planning – helping you find the best fit for your sporting and academic commitments
  • cross-institutional study guidance and assistance
  • enrolment assistance
  • examinations - negotiating location and supervision arrangements
  • lecture flexibility - negotiating alternate attendance if you have clashing schedules.
