The Academic Timeline

ACU strives to bring a distinctive perspective to higher education in Australia with a focus on opportunity, innovation, and ethics. ACU's distinctive approach to education requires collaboration across all areas of the University and needs to be founded on clear communication, teamwork, and mutual understanding.

The Academic Timeline presents an overview of university tasks, processes and interactions between Directorates and Faculties, to increase collaboration, promote communication and efficiencies. The Academic Timeline will assist:

• Academic Staff to gain an understanding of what interactions they can expect to have with Directorates, including when and detailed processes.
• Directorate staff to understand peak periods and focus zones for academic staff, most appropriate times for seeking assistance and detailed processes for their respective interactions with academic staff.

Staff should consult the Focus Zones prior to contacting teaching academics to ensure the timing of the interaction is appropriate to their current priorities.
