                          you will be assessed in the same way.

                          The lecturers who teach students on-campus are the same lecturers who
                          teach online learning students. You have access to online streaming, and
                          lecturers will engage with you in live sessions, so you will still feel a part of a
                          community of learning.

                          Your student experience will not be complete unless you are given the

                          started the online journey. This is why you will have the flexibility to transition
                          back to on-campus learning, if you would like to.
