need support?
We're here to help. Below is a list of ways you can get support, but if there's anything else you require help with, contact us at autsa@org.nz
Student hardship and student support
Students who are experiencing hardship financial and well-being please continue to contact student support services through the Student Hub. Student support services are operational through the student hub – please email studenthub@aut.ac.nz
For international students who have an urgent concern, the Student Hub is operating a phone line. Phone 0800 288 864 to connect with the team.
Advocacy
We can help with disciplinary matters, accommodation, employment (though we can only give legal information, not legal advice), study concerns, and formal complaints especially. We’re also going to be running streams on facebook live weekly from here on in to answer questions on the spot and give generalist advice.
And remember, there’s nothing to be ashamed about—our dedicated team deals with these sorts of issues on a daily basis and are more than happy to help you out.
To find out more or book an appointment, flick us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
