  • academic progress

Consultation via Webex

Webex is a videoconferencing platform that is available in Moodle, if your teacher has set their availability in office hours you can book time with them.

  1. Type in course name (e.g. Bachelor of Computer Science) and search or type in subject code (e.g. ENGG102) and search.
  2. Select the course or subject code (note that some courses have several coordinators so you can select any of them).
