# Indigenous Tutorial Assistance and Retention (ITAR)

## The ITAR program provides course specific tutoring for Indigenous students.

Students receive free supplementary academic tutoring, either one-to-one or in small groups, in course-specific areas from a qualified tutor.

The ITAR program is managed by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit (ATSIS Unit) in conjunction with UQ's six faculties.

ITAR is an academic initiative, funded by the Commonwealth Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, which aims to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students.

**We invite you to join the ITAR community!**

> Amazing program. Really made my first semester back less stressful and very empowering.
