Welcome from UWA’s new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Amit Chakma
Professor Amit Chakma joined UWA this week as our 19th Vice-Chancellor. In his welcome message to students and staff, he recognised the challenges we’ve faced over the past several months, our resilience in responding to the changes, and the dedication shown to our work and studies, all while supporting each other.
UWA has all the support you need, right here.
While some things are starting to return to normal outside of the University, we continue to closely monitor developments surrounding COVID-19 and provide you with all the information and support you need.
We are closely adhering to State and Federal Government health and travel advice, and we look forward to safely welcoming you back to campus.
If you have a course-related question, get in touch with Student Central or your Student Advising Office by:
- emailing askUWA
- booking an online appointment with a Student Adviser
- calling your Student Office (leave a message and we will return your call)
