Access AUTSA services online
All of our core services are available remotely. You don't need to be on campus to get help.
Free, independent advocacy support via email or video call. Whether it’s an academic dispute, complaint, or tenancy issue, our advocates are in your corner.
Apply for financial assistance and grocery vouchers entirely online. All applications are confidential and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Many AUTSA clubs run online meetups, Discord servers, and virtual events. Join a club to meet people who share your interests, from anywhere.
AUTSA livestreams key events where possible, and many club events are hybrid or fully online. Check the events calendar for upcoming opportunities.
