Services and Support Sessions
UC is committed to providing a wide range of services that enable students to develop to their full potential and achieve their goals.
Find out what services are available, ask questions, and pick up information at the College Info Hubs.
12pm and 3pm
With hundreds of student-led clubs, there’s something for everyone at UC, whether you want to continue a passion or discover a new one. There’s always something going on, so it’s no surprise we’re regarded as the most vibrant and engaged student body in the country!
Hear from students first-hand about the clubs, events, eateries, facilities, and services on campus.
Uni 101 (Introduction to University)
9am, 9.30am, 1pm, 1.30pm, 4pm, 4.30pm
With so many options to choose from and different terminology used, it’s not surprising that university can seem like a big leap from high school. In this session, the Liaison team will cover uni admin such as key terminology, degree structures, available support, and – the biggest step of all – how and when to apply.
Current first year students will also be there to give advice on ways to settle in and make the most of your time at UC.
Parents and Whānau
11am
The move from secondary school – or the workplace – to university is a major step. For school-leavers, this change represents the start of adult life and comes with a sense of increased independence and responsibility. Similarly, switching from work to study can be a significant adjustment for adults, their partners, and whānau.
As parent or whanau, you want the best for your family member, including a quality education that prepares them for whatever they choose to do with their future. You also want them to have the freedom to discover new things, make smart choices, and to be well supported.
At UC, we want the same thing. Our priority is to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for all our students. Join this session to hear about UC’s inclusive learning environment and the extensive support services available to our students.
Prepare with Purpose: Pathways for Year 11 & 12
12pm
This session will explore the question “Is university the right option for me? If so, how do I prepare for it?”
Our liaison team will cover the key things you need to do to gain entry into UC, what courses you need, and how to understand the options available for you to explore. We’ll also highlight the importance of connecting with UC as early as possible, and ways for you to do so.
UC Māori
12pm
1pm - 1.30ppm
