Supporting incarcerated students

At UniSQ, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to access higher education. To support our prospective and current incarcerated students, we've developed a selection of resources that will support individuals make well informed career decisions and a suite of programs that can be studied whilst incarcerated.

We understand that as an incarcerated student your needs are unique and internet restrictions will impact how you are able to study. UniSQ has developed learning materials in an 'offline' format which is available in the Offline Enterprise Platform or the Offline Personal Device. This means you will be able to complete your program without the need for online resources or internet access.

During your studies, Correctional Centre staff such as an Education Officer may be able to provide you with support throughout your program including:

  • communicating with UniSQ
  • applying and enrolling
  • assignment submission
  • coordination and facilitation of exams
  • referral to a career development practitioner
  • accessing resources that will help inform your career decision making

Authority to speak on your behalf

During your studies if you have any questions, the Correctional Centre Education Officer will speak to UniSQ on your behalf, therefore a Limited Resources Support (LRS) and Third Party Consent Form must be completed.

If a family member or friend wants to contact UniSQ on your behalf, the Student Authority to Act Form (PDF 150 KB) will need to be completed and returned to UniSQ.

Resources

Are you unsure if studying a university program is right for you? Do you know where your study pathway might take you or how new skills and knowledge can contribute to your future career success? These questions can be difficult to answer on your own and without access to up to date information. To support you in this decision-making process UniSQ has available a range of resources, these include: Career planning and advice
