If you’re struggling with the transition to student life, know that you don’t ever have to go through it alone. Learn more about counselling services offered to Curtin College students.
Our full support network, free classes and workshops are all available to you during your time studying with us.
Student and Academic Service Officers provide wellbeing support and general advice to all Curtin College students. They will support you as you make the transition to living and studying away from home, and in the university environment.
Each new student also has access to a Student Mentor. Student Mentors can share their experiences to help you navigate any challenges you may face as a new student. They’ve recently been through it themselves!
Academic Peers are students who have achieved high grades in one or more units and who have volunteered to help other students. Unit-specific Peers are identified, and their details are made available on Moodle to students enrolled in that unit.
Students who want assistance can contact Academic Peers directly via their Curtin College email address. Academic Peers may also assist with study groups; the college may organise study groups if there is a large number of students needing help with a unit.
Academic drop-in sessions are 2-hour weekly sessions for students that occur during the tuition-free time on Wednesdays between 12-2pm throughout the study period.
The sessions are run by experienced Academic team members to help students with understanding assignment tasks, academic writing, referencing and research skills. No appointments are required. Students seek help by ‘dropping in’ via the Zoom link which can be accessed via the Study KIOSK.
