Last Wednesday, federal Education Minister Julia Gillard unveiled plans to set up a My University website, similar to the controversial My School site launched in January.

It is not yet known what information will feature on the site but it could include course pathways, campus facilities, support services and the quality of teaching and learning outcomes.

Ms Gillard said the site would be developed ``in partnership'' with universities and would be online by January 2012.

A University of Western Sydney spokesman said it was too early for the vice-chancellor to comment on the new site but student union president Jacob Carswell-Doherty said it could affect ``less prestigious'' universities.
