PASS program: Join a study group for your course

A diverse group of students sitting on the ground in a circle.

Studying's essential for your success, so why not study in a group led by someone who recently achieved great marks in this unit?

PASS is for all students - whether you are struggling, doing okay, or are a high achiever. Sessions are free and it's your choice to attend.

Studies show students who regularly attend PASS significantly improve their final grade and make friends. PASS helps you to revise unit content, get to know your classmates, ask questions in a low stress environment, and prepare for exams and assessments in a fun way.

PASS sessions are usually run for challenging first year undergraduate units.

You can join a session on campus or online via Microsoft TEAMS! The link to your PASS session's TEAMS space will be in your main course moodle shell, in the block labelled 'PASS - Study Smart'. You can even attend multiple sessions in a week.

PASS is a 1 hour session that might include:

  • a review of the lecture and assigned readings,
  • group work and discussions,
  • problem solving and critical thinking activities,
  • how to prepare for assignments and end of unit assessments or exams,
  • discussion of key course concepts,
  • small quizzes, group brainstorms and other group activities.

In PASS you will...

  • learn from a student who has been through the course before,
  • work with your classmates to better understand course materiala group of fellow students to improve understanding of course material,
  • have the chance to ask questions that may seem silly,
