Â鶹ÊÓƵ of Queensland expresses its concern and sympathy to students or staff whose friends or family who may be affected by devastating and extensive flooding in Queensland.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s major campuses at St Lucia, Herston and Ipswich are operating as normal.
Deputy Head (Clinical Schools) of the School of Medicine Professor Geoff Cleghorn said he had been advised that none of the teaching facilities or student accommodation in Rockhampton or Bundaberg had been inundated.
However, some medical teaching sites in regional Queensland have been affected, particularly those at Theodore and Emerald.
The school is assessing the situation for students on regional medical rotations in 2011 and is contacting all its clinical teachers to build a list of those affected and to see how the School may be able to assist in the rebuilding process.
Any University of Queensland students needing support can contact Student Services on 3365 1704.
