Information Resources

Most current UWS information for staff, students and the community is published via the University’s web site. In addition the University has other information held in various electronic and hard copy files, records, archives and University systems.

Access to Information

In many instances, the contact details of the holders of the University’s web-based information are referred to on the web site.  Academic and administrative units may be contacted directly to enquire about access to related information.

Where a more complex search is required, both informal requests and formal applications may be freely submitted to the Right to Information Officer  for advice on gaining further access or lodging a formal application for information.  Details on how to seek advice or lodge an application is provided at the Making Applications under GIPA web page.

Where the information requested is not readily available or requires significant time to obtain or assemble, informal requests would be recommended to be submitted as formal applications, and formal applicants would be advised of any costs involved to provide the requested information.

Archives

The University maintains an archives collection of official records and publications of the University and an extensive historical collection primarily related to the Hawkesbury campus. Information about the holdings and access to them can be obtained from the UWS Archivist via the Archives website.
