Charles Sturt is proud to be Australia’s largest regional university, with main campuses spanning as far north as Port Macquarie, zig-zagging through NSW in places like Orange and Bathurst, and stretching south to the border city of Albury-Wodonga. This is what sets us apart from other universities. We get to enjoy a unique study experience with the benefits of a more relaxed, community-based lifestyle.
We know this, so what’s new?
Charles Sturt University has partnered with the Country Universities Centre (CUC).
And what does this mean? Well, CUC provides a network of Centres in almost every area between NSW to QLD. They aim to bridge learning and resource gaps for regionally-based students. Essentially, Charles Sturt students have access to resources, facilities and tutors who are familiar with university technology, terminology and expectations.
In a Centre near you…
Available weekdays from 8.30am to 5pm, Centre Managers can directly assist students with any university-related enquiry or issue.
The advantages of each Centre include:
- fast internet (150mps)
- printing, and at a few Centres it is free
- a dedicated quiet study room with computers and space to bring personal devices to work on
- tutorial rooms, which can be used for seminars, tutorials, workshops, exams and group work
- space for collaboration and break-out, including kitchens and outdoor spaces
- their wrap around support system!
Access to these resources is FREE and available from 7am to midnight, 7 days a week.
“The CUC has also engaged a passionate and dedicated team of Learning Skills Advisors (LSA) who are committed to helping you to succeed in your studies.
You can access your LSA at your local CUC for everything from general study questions, essay writing and referencing, through to explaining feedback on assignments and planning your study.”
