Accept your offer
Accepting your offer is your first step to joining the UC community. Your offer letter will outline the steps you need to take to accept your offer and secure your place in your course.
Organise accommodation
If you haven’t already started browsing accommodation options, now is a good time to start. You can choose from a range of student housing on or near our Bruce campus, or rent a room, apartment or house elsewhere in greater Canberra.
Set up your student account
First thing's first - it's time to set up your student account!
Your username is your student ID with a 'u' in front. Your password should have been issued to you when you accepted your offer, however if you have lost or forgotten it, you can change or reset your password.
Your username and password will give you access to your student systems: myUC and UCLearn, as well as your student email account.
Enrol in units
The best place to start with enrolment is to take a look at our online Digital Handbook for your course. It will show you the typical study plan, which is a great place to begin when deciding what units to enrol into.
Once open, you can enrol into units through myUC. We've developed a short enrolment guide to help, and there is also a self-enrolment video in myUC to navigate you through the process.
