Welcome Dear Students, Welcome to the 2021 academic year. To our returning students, we welcome you back and hope that you had a good break after a unique and challenging 2020. To the students who are joining The IIE’s Varsity College for the first time, on behalf of all of our teams, I hope that your experience with us will be both exciting and rewarding as you step into your tertiary journey.
In order to enable our staffing teams to be accessible, we utilise our customer service platform, VC Assist, which can be found on the Student Hub. VC Assist will give you direct access to a dedicated customer relations team on campus that will assist you with any queries you may have regarding your journey with us.
We understand that with our policies and processes the first semester for new students can become rather daunting at times. In order to facilitate the smoothest transition, I recommend that, in addition to working through this Student Handbook, you assume little and ask as many questions as possible. Always ensure that you are in the best position to maximise your success both in the classroom and outside by involving yourself in various sport, social, career and community activities on your campus.
As always, the support that we put in place requires respectful and timeous communication by our teams and our students. Starting with this Student Handbook, you will be easily connected into our academic, student support and administration support features.
We appreciate that the working world is evolving at a rapid pace and we are committed to enabling you to attain a relevant qualification while engaging with our lecturing teams and fellow students. In order to best facilitate this, we continue to review our curriculum, teaching and learning strategy and assessment activities. Our teaching and learning methodology aims to maximise your critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills which are the top identified employability skills. The IIE’s Varsity College has 8 campuses nationally and also has an Online Centre for our IIE Distance qualifications.

Please ensure that you utilise the online support platforms, staff engagement opportunities and actively embrace being a student with us. Wishing you a happy and successful year with The IIE’s Varsity College. Louise Wiseman Managing Director
