Abstract
In 2016, the University of the Sunshine Coast partnered with the Regional Universities Network to review and recalibrate its Starting@USC Toolkit and create a User Manual as a shared resource for member institutions. The Toolkit is designed as a simple on-line self-assessment tool to assist students to connect with relevant information and support as they get started with their studies at USC. It is an integral component of USC's multi-faceted transition strategy that aims to engage with students as early as possible in their learning journey. Toolkit responses are available to form the basis for personalised follow-up contact from the Student Success team. The responses also provide an invaluable source for the on-going development of timely and relevant orientation and transition-related information, communications and Support for Learning activities.
