Student Services Hub

Te Pātaka

02 November 2023

Te Pātaka is the first place to visit if you’ve got a question or need help with something while you’re studying at UC. Check out our Student Services Hub.

HOW TO APPLY

Just like pātaka (storehouses for food, goods, and other valuable resources), Te Pātaka is a one-stop-shop of resources for tauira (students), so you can be equipped for success during your time at UC. 

 
Services available at Te Pātaka
 

First Year Student Advice

If you're in your first year at UC, you can talk to your Kaitoko | First Year Student Advisor for advice on degree planning, changing courses, timetable clashes and navigating life at UC in general. You can book an in-person or phone/Zoom appointment with your Kaitoko.

 

Enrolment support

For any questions about the enrolment process, tuition fees, identity and citizenship verification, student visa, or insurance for international students, visit the Enrolments team on Level 3.

 

IT Help and LEARN support

Visit the IT Help Desk for support with things like using LEARN, accessing WiFi, using your student email and finding computer rooms with the software you need for assignments. You can also call 0508 UC IT HELP (0508 824 843) or log a job through the self-service portal online.

 

Study and exam advice

Pokapū Pūkenga Ako | Academic Skills Centre is a free advisory service and resource hub that focuses on writing and study strategies to help you achieve at UC. Check out the workshops and seminars or book a consultation.

 

Manaaki Scholar student support &  student exchange opportunities

If you're a Manaaki Scholar or a domestic student interested in a UC Global Exchange, get advice and support from the International Relationships team. 

 

Scholarship support and Student Finance

Visit the Scholarships desk for any enquiries about scholarships or pay your tuition fees with the Student Finance team. 

 

Who else can help?

As a student at UC, whether on campus or studying by distance or online, you have access to a huge range of services and support.
