Academic Liaison Officers (ALO)

Academic Liaison Officers (ALOs) are academic staff in each Faculty who assist three groups of students:

with disabilities and ongoing illnesses;
who have difficulties in their studies because of their family commitments (e.g. being a primary carer for small children or a family member with a disability);
students who gained entry through inpUTS Educational Access Scheme or Special Admissions.

ALOs are responsible for determining alternatives assessment arrangements for students with disabilities. Students are encouraged to see the Special Needs Service before they see their ALO but this is not a requirement.

Responsible Academic Officers

Responsible Academic Officers are senior academics in each Faculty who oversee assessment procedures and resolve conflicts relating to assessment. They are also responsible for the appointment of Academic Liaison Officers and for resolving any conflicts between ALOs and other academic staff in relation to assessment arrangements for students with disabilities.

Students can make an appeal to their Responsible Academic Officer if they are not satisfied with the assessment arrangements made by Academic Liaison Officers.
