Workshops to help you develop your study skills

Whether you’ve just started or you’re a returning student – make use of some extra support in developing and improving your study skills with Academic Learning Development. They’re running workshops throughout the first semester to help all CCCU students with exam, assignment and general study skills.

Have you downloaded the Safezone App?

CCCU is a safe University but you never know when you might need the help of security – whether it is because someone has an accident, needs first aid or there is an unexpected emergency.

SafeZone is a safety app which gives you peace of mind when on campus. It means whatever the situation you don’t have to panic – all you have to do is press a button and Security will be there to assist.

How to make your Module Choice

If you are a new student starting this week then your may have to make some module choices (your programme team will let you know more information). Module Options Choice starts from Monday 17 September to 4pm Wednesday 19 September 2018.

Staying Safe

University can mean a new place, new people and new environment which is exciting! We want you to enjoy your new surrounding safely –  Kent is a safe place to study and the risk of experiencing anything untoward is thankfully very low but here are some tips to looking after yourselves and others.

Registration on 15 and 16 September

We look forward to welcoming many of you this weekend for your registration.

Registration is an important event that all students must attend to ensure that they get fully enrolled onto their course and are all ready to start their studies.

The essential Your Uni Events

The Your Uni Events, taking place on 20 and 21 September, are a not to be missed one hour introduction to the Christ Church Team that are here to support you on your journey as a student – from the very early days right the way through to graduation.

Chooseday Chill

Would you like to just take time out over some comforting tea and toast; relax with some friends over some board games; catch a film or unwind with some sports activities? Then Chooeday Chill is for you!

UniSmart is coming!

Miss this presentation at your peril. It is likely to be the most memorable lecture you will see this year. In fact, maybe in your lifetime.

Changes to Canterbury Park and Ride

During September 2018, Canterbury City Council will introduce a new way to pay throughout the Park and Ride car parks.  Existing payment machines will be replaced with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). This will allow payment by either cash or card (including contactless), as well as by app or phone.

The introduction of these new machines will make the prepaid discount cards redundant. However regular users of the service will be able to set up an on-line account and get a 20% reduction off the standard parking charge. For more details on these improvements please see the City Council website.

What’s Happening in September at CCCU?

We hope you are all looking forward to the beginning of a new academic year. This a great time of year as we get ready to welcome lots of new students and celebrate graduation with others.

Plus there’s a number of events, activities and general updates that will help you to get the year off to a good start!

And please remember if you are a current student to re-register on the Student Portal or if you a joining us for the first time to attend a registration event – as we need to know that you are coming!

Your Welcome Week

We know that it is both exciting and daunting to start University but during your Welcome Week we have everything in place to help you start your CCCU life  – so don’t miss out!

During your first week your Programme Team will have an induction planned to introduce you to your fellow students and your studies (Check your Arrival Instructions Tile in your Student Portal for the details). This is essential to give you a good start to your new academic life – discover where everything is on the campus, learn more about your programme, get your timetable and find out what is expected of you.
