Welcome to the UCSA

The University of Canberra Students' Association Inc. is here to defend students right to a high quality and equitable education - we are your student voice at UC.

The Students' Association is governed by a committee of elected students, and provides services, support, and representation to all UC students.

Advocacy and Representation

We all hope that your time at UC goes off without a hitch, but sometimes things go wrong - and the UCSA is here to help. We have a full time advocacy officer who is the person to see if you think that you are being treated unfairly by your lecturer, course convener, tutor or the uni.

Access to advocacy services is FREE to all UC students.

Beyond the one-on-one service, we represent students on most of the universities committees, and help to shape the policies that effect you during your time at UC.
