UC-CONNECT is a program that has been developed by the University of Canberra College in conjunction with the University of Canberra to provide a pathway for school leavers and recent school leavers who wish to study an undergraduate degree at the University of Canberra and whose current academic qualifications do not allow them direct admission to the University.

UC-CONNECT students are enrolled full-time at the University of Canberra. Students who are Australian citizens, permanent residents of Australia and New Zealand citizens are not liable for course fees.

UC-CONNECT is classified as an enabling program.

UC-CONNECT Program Details:

UC-CONNECT consists of either a 14 week program or a 22 week program.  Entry to either program is based on the student's admission score or previous qualification.

• Students study three university preparation subjects. These subjects focus on the development of the skills needed to successfully study at university.
• Students in the UC-CONNECT 14 week program study 9 hours per week for 14 weeks on a full-time load. This is equivalent to an EFTSL of .375.
• Students in the 22 week program study 9 hours per week for the first 14 weeks on a full-time load, which is equivalent to an EFTSL of .375, then drop down to a part-time load for a further 5 weeks, which is equivalent to an EFTSL of .250.
• At the completion of the program students apply to enter the University of Canberra. The offers for courses will be based on the assessment results gained during the UC-CONNECT program.
