SUPRA is closed from midday, Thursday 21 December until 9am, Monday 8 January 2024 (Sydney time) for the University end-of-year closure.
If you contact us during this time, we will respond to you when we reopen. Please allow up to 2 working days for a reply after we reopen, as we receive a large volume of enquiries during this period.
If you need information about an academic issue while we are closed, please visit the Get help or HDR Hub pages of our website. They contain useful information about almost any academic issue you might have.
The University is closed
The University shuts down from 5pm, Thursday 21 December to 7 January 2024 (inclusive). It reopens on Monday 8 January 2024. This period doesn’t count towards any appeal, misconduct, academic integrity or Show Good Cause deadlines. The University won’t expect you to respond during this period.
Some University support services will still be available, including some health and wellbeing support, peer support advice, and safety on campus. Find out more about University support available over the break.
The Student Centre is open
The Student Centre will be open 9am–5pm during the University shutdown, except for public holidays and weekends. The Student Centre can provide general advice or let you know who to contact once the University reopens on 8 January 2024. At this time of year, normal response times are up to 10 working days. Contact the Student Centre.
Check your UniKey email
Remember to check your UniKey email over the summer break for any important notices sent by the University.
Order your 2024 wall calendar!
You can order a free wall calendar while we’re closed, and we will send it to you in January.
Show Good Cause
If you have been asked to Show Good Cause at the end of semester 2 2023, the University will not act on your case during the shutdown period. One of our professional caseworkers will be able to advise and assist you when we reopen.
Please read the Show Good Cause information on our website:
Academic appeals
If you are unhappy with your final mark and you want to appeal, you have 15 working days from the date you received your grades to lodge your appeal. This does not include any days between 22 December 2023 and 7 January 2024 (inclusive) when most of the University is shut down for the end-of-year break.
For final exam and assessment results published on 13 December 2023, the deadline to lodge your stage 1 appeal is Thursday 18 January 2024.
Note: please be aware, we previously listed 17 January 2024 as the last date to appeal. This was incorrect and has been updated.

If you need help with your appeal, our casework service will be happy to help you once we reopen.
Academic integrity
One of our professional caseworkers will be able to advise and assist you with any academic integrity issues when we reopen. You will not be required to respond to an academic integrity allegation during the University shutdown.
