9 January 2020: The University of Canberra is open for business and preparing to welcome around 1,000 prospective students and their families at Course Advice Day tomorrow, Friday 10 January 2020.
The University Admissions Centre is releasing a further 13,000 university offers at 7.30am on Friday 10 January, with those who have received an offer to study at UC invited to come to the Bruce campus to find out more about the career-orientated, sector-leading courses available at UC in 2020.
Prospective students will have the opportunity to meet their faculty and future lecturers to get tailored course advice and first-hand accounts of what it’s like to study at UC.
“Those who received an offer to study at the University of Canberra will be able to receive one-on-on assistance at Course Advice Day to apply and accept their offer, and enrol in units,” said Professor Lawrence Pratchett, Pro Vice Chancellor/Associate Vice President (Students, Partnerships and International).
“It is a wonderful opportunity to chat to our helpful staff about support services, pathway programs and accommodation providers, so prospective students can feel welcomed and comfortable before commencing their studies,” said Professor Pratchett.
There will also be dedicated information sessions throughout the day from Study Abroad, Parent Information Sessions, Careers UC, and UC College.
Prospective students will be able to mingle with their future peers while enjoying free food, fairy floss, popcorn, slushies, music and games from 10am to 2pm.
UC recognises that some students in our community are facing hardship as a result of the bushfires. In order to ensure that those affected can easily access information and support regarding their offers and courses, UC has established a dedicated Bushfire Support line and email address for students who may not be able to access computers, accept offers, discuss fee payment options, need to defer until semester 2 or have any concerns.
Students impacted by the bushfires can contact 1300 301 727 or bushfire.support@canberra.edu.au and a dedicated team will be available to manage their specific situation.
The Medical and Counselling centre on campus is open in Building 1, Level B or call (02) 6201 2351. The Student Welfare Team is also available during business hours on (02) 6206 8841 or at welfare@canberra.edu.au. For afterhours support or during weekends and public holidays, all UC students can contact the UC Crisis Line on 1300 271 790 or by texting 0488 884 227.
