Dear UC Students,
We are thrilled to bring you the first bi-monthly newsletter from the Student Representative Council (SRC). Our goal is to keep you updated on the latest news and developments from the SRC.
SRC Achievements
As we prepare for a new academic year, the SRC is committed to making it successful and impactful. Our team is dedicated to working with the university student body to address the needs and concerns of UC students. We are currently outlining our goals for the year and planning events such as Market Day and International Women’s Day. Be sure to follow us on social media to stay in the loop.
The SRC has recently reviewed the Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure document. If you’re interested in getting involved in University policy reviews or other SRC initiatives, please email UCSRC@canberra.edu.au to join our Expression of Interest registry.

In addition to SRC positions, the University is also seeking to fill non-SRC Student Representative roles on Faculty Boards, Academic Board sub- Committees, Calectives and working groups. If you’re interested in getting involved or would like more information, please email SRCGovernance@canberra.edu.au.
Stay Connected
In the upcoming semester, the UCSRC will be hosting a town hall meeting where students can submit their questions beforehand and receive comprehensive answers. To stay updated on this event and other SRC news, please follow our social media accounts.
We encourage all UC students to stay connected with the SRC by keeping up with new issues of Curieux and following us on social media. Together, we can build a positive and inclusive community at UC.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your respective representative (firstname.lastname@canberra.edu.au) or the SRC (UCSRC@canberra.edu.au). The SRC is here to serve and represent the student community at UC.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
The SRC
