So, you're kicking off on an exciting new adventure
with CSU, hey? Oh the memories you'll make... You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll be great.
I'm here from Student Services to let you know how YOU can take advantage of US
during your studies here For example, we know it can be a struggle
to pay for university supplies like the excessive amount of textbooks you'll need for your studies.
Though no matter what it is, we've gotcha covered
with our short term loans. If you find yourself at a financial disadvantage,
whether it's paying for your cat's funeral, or recovering from a natural disaster like
a flood, we're here for you with emergency supplies, and equity support.
And don't forget to check out the CSU website for the multitude of scholarships available.
You've got a good chance of getting some money thrown your way to help you through your degree
We're not just interested in your study life. We want you to have the
most exciting experience possible. Which is why we bring the hottest bands and DJs
to your campus. We'll keep you in the loop about all the awesome upcoming events, or
let us know your ideas on how we can improve your experience with us.
One great way to contribute to your campus is to get into the Student Representative
Council. We love to help you with your initiatives and we know how passionate you can be about
the things you love. You can help us to build better futures for
yourselves and others. Environmental committees
are a good example. We love helping to maintain our beautiful country.
Another great thing to be involved in are the university's clubs and groups. There's
so many opportunities available, like religious, creative arts, and interest groups. You can
even make a group of your own. There's also plenty of sporting
teams, competitions, tournaments and activities happening around the campus. We can even help
you to get into the facilities you might need. And if your sporting commitments take
you away from home; like for university games, we can help organize all the logistics for
you. All you need to do is ask! If you're into sport on a professional level,
CSU is registered as an elite athlete friendly university. We are ESPECIALLY capable of providing
for the needs of those committed to high level sport.
Now whether you're a professional sportsperson or not, we can help you maintain a healthy
mind and body during your studies. Some of our universities offer free use
of a gym, but we also regularly host health information sessions.
If you need psychological help and just ignore it, you could end up like our poor friend
Ken; a hard, empty shell of bitter pain and regret.
But seriously, many of you will come to realize that, well to be frank, sometimes, life sucks!
If you need to clear your head, you can receive free and confidential counselling
whether it's in person or online. We guard it with our
lives. If you live with a disability or medical condition
it could affect your ability to study. We have dedicated staff to provide you with assistance
whether it's provision of accessible accommodation, assistive technology, special exam provisions
or access to special resources. Just make sure you register with our Disability Service.
We're dedicated to our international student body. Whether it's dealing with homesickness,
or assisting with matters like community linkages, personal and academic support.
Remember all you studying by distance; you are just as important to us as the rest of
the student body. So don't be afraid to contact us about anything you need, whether it's access
to the library, financial assistance, counselling, or even study support. It's all available
to you too
Well that just about sums it up. As you guys embark on your journey here with us, remember
that it won't last forever, and we're here to help make it the best it can possibly be.
So if you need ANYTHING, jump online, give us a call, or drop into Student Central.
Have an absolutely fantastic day.
