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.
The transition to higher education can be a challenging one, requiring an academic skill set that might be unfamiliar to many students, including referencing and citation, presentation skills, academic writing, critical thinking skills and many more.
Through interactive workshops, in-class drop-in sessions, or free 1-on-1 appointments available to all Curtin College students, our dedicated Student Learning Advisor can support you with your academic inquiries at all stages of your study period.
Bookings can be made via the Study Kiosk.
