Wednesday Wellbeing Workshops

The Mental Wellbeing Team are launching a range of Wellbeing Workshops to support you through your first Semester and beyond.

All of the workshops are on Wednesdays between 2.00- 4.00pm and are held at Augustine House, AHg.56.

The workshops are run in small groups and offer you a chance to share and learn from others in a confidential and relaxed environment. It is hoped they will help you develop strategies to not only cope with some of the common issues students say they face, but to be happy and successful while at CCCU.

Changes to your Digital Experience

In order to continue to improve your digital experience you will notice some changes when you return to CCCU after the summer holidays.

From the introduction of ReCap a new way for recording lectures to faster Wifi in certain areas on campus and new iBorrows there is lots to look out for…

#Stressless for Postgraduates

We appreciate that at this time of year many of our Postgraduate students are working towards their final dissertation and to help keep them motivated we have organised a mini #Stressless just for them!

Disruption to the telephone service

Currently the University is experiencing issues with their telephone system as result of the power outage this morning.  We apologise that this is the case and we are working hard with our 3rd party suppliers to resolve these residual issues.

Semester Reassessment Results 2019

Semester Reassessment Results are being published on 29 July from 9am until 3pm.

The system is configured to release results to students in groups, therefore not all results are released at exactly the same time of day.

Your results will be easy and quick to access via a PDF attachment sent direct to your University email address.

Launch of free online training in Assistive Technology

The CCCU research team have launched free online training in Assistive Technology (AT) for CCCU students and staff.

The training is suitable for those who currently work with AT, those who may work with AT in the future, or those who have an interest in the use of AT in healthcare.  On completion of the training unit, learners will be issued with a certificate of completion, which can be added to study portfolios and used to demonstrate CPD. The online module takes about 1 hour and you can do it in stages, completing it in your own time. 

Our New Graduate College for Postgraduate Students

Our postgraduate students are very important to us, and we have been listening to your feedback, including improving the physical spaces you use.

From September 2019, the University will launch a new Graduate College, which will enhance the student experience for all postgraduate students.  

Meet Your Peer Mentors!

As a new or current student you may be able to have access to a peer mentor, who is that little bit further on in their studies, and can provide you with help and support by sharing their experiences to assist you during your time at the University. We are meeting some of our wonderful peer mentors in this blog- so read on to find out who they are!

Student Mental Health Film and Writing Competitions

We are delighted to be launching both a film and writing competition which will empower students to use their voice on the subject of mental health.

The theme of the competitions is “Journeys of the Mind” and we hope by sharing entries on World Mental Health Day in October 2019, we can continue the conversations around emotional wellbeing, creating a positive culture around and awareness of mental health at CCCU.

NSS Survey Results

We are pleased to share with you that in the National Student Survey (NSS) data released yesterday, our overall satisfaction figure has increased to 83% (from 82%), and is just one point away from the national average of 84% (up from 83% in 2018). 

What’s Happening at CCCU this July?

The Summer is well and truly here- but if you’re still around, don’t worry as there’s still plenty of support and things to do on campus! And, congratulations to those of you who received your results last month. Don’t worry if you have any reassessments, we’ll be in contact to offer support to those who may need it.
