World's universities able to turn to CQUni for 'good practices' 

When the world's universities seek advice about quality learning, agent management, student progress and career coaching, they'll be able to turn to CQUniversity for 'good practices'...

CQUniversity is proud that our 'good practices' identified by the Australian Universities Quality Agency have been added to AUQA's international database of good practice in higher education.

Our Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research, Scholarship and Industry) Professor Jennelle Kyd says:

"Selection of our examples for the international database shows we are really punching above our weight

 when it comes to offering good practice solutions that can be used by all universities around the world".

"CQUniversity is such a unique and diverse institution, servicing a huge region, with a footprint extending along Australia's east coast and operating in rural and remote areas as well as major capital cities.

"Over the years we have provided leadership in practice and innovation for the diversity of our students that include on-campus, supported distance and online education.  So it's great we are able to share some of our best practices with other institutions around the world."

The Academic Learning Support Quality Service ensures our diverse student population, including students from low socio-economic backgrounds and international students, has effective academic support, irrespective of how or where they are studying.

Our Education Agent Management Portal ensures reputable education agents are contracted to recruit potential students.

The Monitoring Academic Progress (MAP) policy now includes a term-by-term identification and intervention reducing the number of high fail students.

Our Training Employment and Career Coaching helps international students to be job ready within their visa allocation of up to 20 hours per week.
