Students as carers / children on campus
Bringing children to the University – Federation University procedures
Federation recognises that there are occasions students who are parents/carers/guardians wish to bring children to a University activity. This assists students to balance work, study and caring responsibilities. The Children in University Activities Procedure has been developed to help the University balance these needs with other considerations.
