Online chat

Are you starting a new assignment and feeling a bit lost? 

The HELPS online Assignment Chat space is designed to give you a helping hand when you are preparing your assignment.  

How it works:

  • Connect online: Join our chat platform to connect with experienced Peer Advisors who are ready to discuss your assignment.  Whether you're brainstorming ideas or need guidance on where to start, our team is here for you.
  • Ask anything: No question is too big or too small. From clarifying assignment requirements to getting tips on effective research, our Peer Advisors are here to help you every step of the way. 
  • Real-time support: Enjoy real-time support through our chat interface. Check how to join the chat below.

How to join online Assignment Chat:

  1. Download and sign in to MS Teams using your UTS student login details (if you haven't already). Go to Microsoft Teams | University of Technology Sydney (uts.edu.au) for instructions.
  2. Join the Assignment Chat Team using the code “52xw1f1”. From the top right hand corner, click "Join or create team" then "Join team". Enter the join code in the text box, then click "Add team".
  3. Go to Main channel (General) and Post a message indicating you are waiting to speak with someone.
  4. Wait until Peer Advisors respond. You won't be waiting too long. 
  5. Join the meeting as directed.

If you have a draft to review:

  • Request an appointment for a One-to-One Consultation. While we can't review your draft in the chat right away, we can set up a One-to-One Consultation, either online or on campus, at a time that suits you.

If you want to meet with Peer Advisors on campus:

  • Drop-in to HELPS (CB01.05.25) from 12pm to 5pm. No appointment is necessary!
