USC is staging a mix of on-campus and online Orientation events next week (19-23 July) to help new students across its five campuses from Fraser Coast to Moreton Bay get the right start to their university journey.

Semester 2 Orientation is packed with program welcome sessions, support advice, academic workshops, stalls and campus tours to introduce students to USC before the start of classes on 26 July.

The cohort includes some who are starting university after a short break since finishing high school and others who are embarking mid-year on paths to gaining new skills and careers.

And it is not too late to apply to study at USC in Semester 2, with the University still receiving direct applications for most programs until Wednesday 4 August (applications for Nursing Science have closed and applications for Education will close on Monday 19 July).

USC will run a two-day Orientation at its Sunshine Coast campus on 19-20 July and Moreton Bay campus on 21-22 July.

Orientation events will be held at Caboolture on 19 July, Fraser Coast on 20 July and at Gympie on 21 July. USC is also offering an online Orientation program from 19-23 July.

Health and safety measures are in place at all campuses to ensure a COVID-safe Orientation and those attending are reminded to use Queensland Government's Check In Queensland app.

With Queensland Health extending restrictions in South East Queensland for one more week, new students at Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and Caboolture campuses are reminded to follow the guidelines requiring the use of face masks and social distancing.

Those interested in studying at USC can join the University’s interactive online Open Day this Sunday, 18 July.
