Your levy, your say: Complete UCount before it closes

13 May 2026

The UCount survey closes on Sunday (17 May), so now is the time to have your say on the services that support student life at UC. UCount is one of the main ways to give feedback on how the Student Services Levy is used.

HOW TO APPLY

Wait, what is the Student Services Levy?

Every year, UC students pay a Student Services Levy, often called the SSL. It might not be the most exciting line on your fees statement, but it helps provide a wide range of services students use every day.

The SSL is not unique to UC. It’s a compulsory fee that all New Zealand university students pay. It’s used solely for the benefit of students, helping fund non-academic services that support wellbeing, health, student experience and life on campus.

Your levy in action 

Thousands of UC students access SSL-funded services each year. That can include things like:

  • wellbeing programmes and initiatives such as The Living Room, a dedicated space on campus for students to take time out between classes 

  • UCSA events, clubs and advocacy

Why your feedback matters

The UCount student survey is one of the easiest ways to help shape what happens next.

By completing the survey, you’re helping UC understand what support students need, where the levy is making a difference, and where services could be improved.

Take a few minutes now to share what matters to you.
