The role & key responsibilities

The Academic Success Advisor is responsible for the case management of academically at-risk students, including outreach to at-risk students, intake and assessment, development of Academic Performance Improvement Plans, referral, evaluation, and information management.

Academic struggle can be the result of a number of contributing factors, such as academic history, financial stress, work/family/school/social conflicts, poor university and academic preparedness, poor time management, poor help-seeking behaviours, physical and mental health, and uncertainty over goals/plans.

The provision of Academic Success Advisors to students is central to RMIT’s strategic plan of ‘Ready for life and work’ and seeks to help students overcome obstacles impacting their studies and to provide an environment conducive to academic success and wellbeing.
