UC thrive

Supporting you from the very beginning 

UC thrive

UC Thrive programs are delivered by the Student Wellbeing and Support team to help you ease into university life and start your journey at UC in the best way possible. If you’re keen to know more about the support you can access throughout your studies, or have concerns about your transition to university, UC Thrive is your first point of contact.

In addition to supporting students new to the university, UC Thrive works to improve the success of current UC students too.

Student Mentor Program

Our Student Mentor Program is designed to ease you into your study journey in a fun and supportive way. Your UC Student Mentor will provide individual support throughout your first semester, answering your questions and helping you make connections.

You’ll be matched with a Student Mentor studying the same or a similar degree – someone who’s had a similar experience transitioning to UC or who shares similar hobbies and interests. 

You can apply to take part in the Student Mentor Program once you've accepted your offer to study at UC.

Connect at one of our Wellbeing Walk and Talks, Wellbeing Crafternoons or join us as we go off campus exploring Canberra best Nature reserves.

We also run targeted international support programs and events including our Learn to Swim Program, free lunches, annual international gala and more
