Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register and access the Centre?

You can register with and gain access to CUC Far West if you are over 18 years of age and completing:

  • a university degree
  • a pathway program for entry into a university degree
  • a Certificate IV or above at any registered training organisation

Students who meet these requirements and are 17 years of age can register and gain access to the Centre during staffed hours with a parent or carer’s permission.

Simply fill in the form on our website to register your interest. We’ll get in touch to complete your registration. You’ll need to provide proof of enrolment in a course and your USI, a photo ID and complete an orientation at the Centre before gaining access.

Once registered, you’ll receive an email with a unique invitation code, QR code, and link to activate your Centre access via a mobile phone app. All students use the app to unlock the Centre doors, with access available from 6am to midnight, 7 days a week. Our facilities and services are free.

Do you offer courses?

CUC Far West is a regional university study hub. We do not provide courses directly.

We can help you choose from many different courses and support you to access a wide range of higher education providers. Our students study everything from health, psychology, social work and community services and education, at over 40 different institutions. A large majority of our students study online, using the Centre to access their courses.

We can look at courses from different providers that suit your interests, career goals, study preferences and work and family commitments.

Can you attend my event or workplace?

CUC Far West does outreach in the Far West region. We can support education and career expos, and other programs and events that showcase educational opportunities. We can also present to students or staff.

Please get in touch.

Can you host my exam?

CUC Far West regularly hosts and supervises exams for universities and other exam providers. We can provide an examination space and invigilation services. Contact us with enquiries.

I'm not sure if uni is for me. Can you help?

Yes — absolutely. Many students feel unsure about uni at some point, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. CUC Far West offers student support services to help you explore your options, understand what uni involves, and make decisions that feel right for you.

We can talk with you about study pathways, workload expectations, alternative entry options, and what support is available if you choose to continue studying. You’re welcome to visit the Centre or book a time to chat with our team.

If you’d like to talk it through, you can book an appointment, and we’ll help you explore the best path forward.
