Updates and services

Campus Access Policy review

The University adopted the new Campus Access Policy in July this year to provide clearer information about expectations and requirements of conduct on campus.
As part of its implementation, we are running an additional review of the policy before the end of the year to assess its effectiveness and encourage you to share your views. If you want to make a submission, you will need to do so before 30 November.  

Casual Employment Information Statements

We're introducing changes in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009 to ensure that casual staff members are well-informed about their conditions of employment. All casual staff will receive a Casual Employment Information Statement on a regular basis.

Search issues with Academic Profiles – fix implemented

A fix has been implemented to resolve ongoing search issues for academic profile online (APO). The issue is currently preventing profiles from showing up in search (including Google search, and in some cases the corporate website search). Profiles will progressively reappear in searches from Monday 18 November.

We acknowledge the tradition of custodianship and law of the Country on which the University of Sydney campuses stand. We pay our respects to those who have cared and continue to care for Country.
