Abstract
Over the last decade, higher education in Australia has made strong progress towards strengthening the participation of students from low socioeconomic (SES) status backgrounds and those from regional and remote areas. These efforts have necessitated a rethink of current models and strategies and the development of more inclusive curriculum, assessment, and teaching to better facilitate the success of students from low SES backgrounds at regional universities. This chapter provides the findings of a national study that explored the major factors that contribute to low SES background student success in regional universities. The key findings relating to course design, teaching, and staff attributes are presented.
