Off-campus Staff
Off-campus staff are those whose work is undertaken totally, or substantially, beyond the Kensington or COFA campuses. ADFA staff are served by ADFA Library.

Off-Campus Students
An off-campus student is a student whose enrolled program requires either no on-campus attendance at the Kensington or Paddington campuses or has only very limited on-campus attendance requirements such as short orientation or progress review sessions. ADFA staff/students are served by the ADFA Library.
These groups of students include:

Undergraduate and postgraduate students formally enrolled in programs which are officially defined as external but may also be described in text as alternative mode, multiple mode, flexible delivery mode.
Undergraduate students formally enrolled in programs normally considered on campus courses but who have a significant off-campus component or a remote placement which may be extensive. The status of off-campus student applies only during the off campus period.
Research postgraduates (Masters and PhD) who are formally enrolled as external students.
Students with special circumstances
