Student Services
When you step into your local CUC, you’ll be met by a welcoming community of staff and students in a safe and inclusive environment.
Each CUC provides face-to-face academic and wellbeing student services from local staff, and facilities that have quiet study spaces, breakout rooms, high-speed internet, and a local learning community. This allows students to have the physical infrastructure and personalised face-to-face local support needed to ensure their higher education success.
Helping you succeed
At the CUC, we appreciate that you may face additional challenges and stressors, including disability, financial constraints, and caring or work responsibilities. We want you to succeed and are available for a coffee and a chat, referral to university or other services, or to help you manage your study workload alongside other demands.
Practical Support and Advice
We can help with navigating university learning portals and connecting with the appropriate university services to meet your individual needs. This may include applying for extensions or special considerations; or referral to progression teams, library services, and finding and applying for scholarships.
Study Skills
Are you new to higher education, returning after an extended period or needing guidance around assessment tasks? We can help you settle into study and become confident with academic and university processes.
Academic Skills
Academic programs range from workshops in referencing or essay writing, to one-on-one tutoring with our dedicated Student Services staff. Utilising the CUC can help you build crucial study skills to help you tackle your studies.
Study Spaces
If you need a quiet study space without the interruptions and competing demands of home, take a look around one of our well-equipped Centres. In each modern, purpose-built facility, you’ll find: a dedicated quiet study room with computers and space to work on personal devices; tutorial rooms which can be used for seminars, tutorials, workshops, exams, and group work; and space for student collaboration and break out spaces.
