You don’t have to be on campus to access study help. Many of the Library’s services can be accessed online – wherever you may be! Here’s a handy list of study support services available to you:
Peer Academic Mentors
Peer Academic Mentors are high-achieving Curtin students who can help with:
- Time management
- Preparing for exams
- Assignment planning and structure
- Referencing
- Course or faculty specific content
- Maths and statistics
- Using OASIS and Blackboard
- Searching for reputable sources.
Face-to-face sessions are available weekdays on level 4 of TL Robertson Library, or you can book an online session too. Visit the Peer Academic Mentor page to meet the mentors, book a session and check out the weekly timetable.
Studiosity
If you’re studying a first-year unit and want in-depth feedback on an assignment, check out Studiosity. It’s an online service that can be accessed 24/7 with two services on offer:
- Writing Feedback gives you constructive, confidential writing feedback. Simply upload an assignment draft, and you’ll receive comments, suggestions and encouragement from a Studiosity tutor within 24 hours.

You can access Studiosity through Blackboard within first-year units. Look for the Studiosity link in the unit menu.
UniSkills
If you haven’t checked out UniSkills yet, you really should! This website has been designed to help you improve your academic and study skills. There are modules on how to tackle assignments and study tips, as well as numeracy and digital skills. Want to learn how to use EndNote? There are modules for that too! It’s a great tool for checking referencing when working on assignments.
