A message from the Provost, Professor Pauline Nugent:
Dear colleagues,
I am very pleased to share with you some recent updates from my portfolio:
Winter 2018 in Rome
Most of Europe was hit with a cold snap in late February and locals in Rome woke up to a snow-covered city for the first time in many years. While our Rome Campus colleagues had to endure one of the coldest winters in history, they were also treated to a rare magical sight of our campus blanketed in snow.
It has been a very busy first quarter for our Rome Campus with a total of five academic intensive units held at the campus, involving Faculties of Health Sciences, Law & Business, Education & Arts as well as the Core Curriculum. The units attracted a total of 150 students from ACU and partner universities including Loyola University Chicago and The Catholic University of America (CUA).
Some key highlights include:
My office has collaborated with Students, Learning and Teaching’s Evaluations Team, to coordinate for the University the Rome Study Experience surveys. Our Rome Academic Subcommittee continues to strengthen academic governance for all units held at our Rome Campus to ensure ACU continues to meet all academic requirements.
Planning and preparations for academic programs including intensive units and research seminars in Rome during ACU’s winter semester break in June and July are currently underway. The Institute of Religion and Critical Inquiry held during March, a seminar on “Moral Disagreement: Global Issues in Ethics II” involving 20 participants, drawn from Australia, USA and Europe.
Next month, I will be in Rome with the Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Greg Craven for meetings with stakeholders to discuss the future strategic direction of the Rome Campus.

Enrolment update
Overall, ACU’s enrolment load continues to grow within a challenging and highly competitive higher education environment. As at 26 March 2018, total load has grown by 435 EFTSL or 1.7% from the same time last year and our fee paying international load is 1.9% (56 EFTSL) above target.
My office continues to work with Faculties, International, MER, Student Admissions and OPSM to lift commencing load and strengthen pipeline via the Mid-Year Enrolment strategy.
I look forward to providing more updates on this important initiative during the year.
