Intranet - The University of Sydney

I hope you all managed to make great use of the wellbeing break, whether you used the opportunity for some focused work or took some well-deserved annual leave. If you have any feedback on how the wellbeing breaks are working for you, I'd be keen to hear it. 
 
We are just over a month into the annual Academic Planning and Development (AP&D) review period, and this seems to be a good moment to remind academic colleagues, if you have not done so already, to ensure you have made time to meet with your advisor or supervisor and that you have prepared well for the meeting, including by submitting your AP&D paperwork in advance of the meeting. 
 
You may find the following key resources of assistance with the process: 

• The AP&D Academic User Guide provides information regarding the online Academic Planning and Development process.
  
• The Intranet provides additional information and support material, including on Minimum Standards and Aspirational Research Performance Standards as well as on the roles and responsibilities of advisees, advisors and supervisors.  
• The AP&D Advisor and Supervisor User Guide provides information on workflow and steps for advisors and supervisors.  

If you require any help you can contact the Shared Service Centre on 02 9351 2000 or email [email protected]. 
 
The purpose of the AP&D process is to provide academic colleagues with the opportunity to document achievements, while setting priorities, actions, and goals for the next review period. As a Faculty, AP&D is something we do incredibly well, and this is in no small part due to committed team of expert star advisors working within and across our Schools. The review period closes on 30 November 2024, so please let’s work together to meet this deadline.
