Get a great start at university!

The Smart Study Passport program is an academic orientation program which aims to give you the best possible start to studying at university.

In Semester 1, Smart Study Passport sessions will be presented on every day in Orientation Week, and on two days each in Weeks 1, 2 & 3.

There is no need to register for sessions.  To take part in the program, simply come along to the sessions at times which suit you.  You can attend all modules, or just one or two.  Continuing students are also welcome to attend.  For off-campus students online Smart Study Passport sessions are also available.  Use your UC student ID and password to log in.

Venues and session times are listed on the Smart Study Passport program (Word 127 KB or PDF 299 KB), and in the Smart Study Passport booklet.  Booklets are available from Academic Skills Centre (5A13) or from the Research Assistance Desk in the Library (Building 8).

Students who attend all modules are eligible to go into the draw to win an Apple iPad2®.  Fill in your details and attach stickers from each module to the Completion Form on page 3 of your SSP booklet and then drop it in one of the distinctive green Smart Study Passport drop-boxes, which can be found in the Library or the Academic Skills Centre.
