Whether you are yet to start your uni studies, have just enrolled in your USC undergraduate program or have already been studying for a while, USC offers university preparation and support programs to get you on track.

Uni Skills for You

Are you considering university study, but feeling unsure? Before you apply, come along to our free tertiary taster two day course, Uni Skills for You. The course is taught by USC Academic Skills and Career Advisers and is especially designed for adults of all ages who have not undertaken formal study for some years, or who did not finish high school.

Tertiary Preparation Pathway

If you are unable to gain entry to university through QTAC without first gaining additional qualifications, the Tertiary Preparation Pathway (TPP) can provide an entry pathway for you. If you already qualify for entry, TPP can upgrade your skills and knowledge to get you on track to succeeding in your university studies.

Skills preparation modules

Brush up on your academic writing, study and proofreading skills offered as Academic Skills Workshops.

Tertiary Support Option (TSO)

The Tertiary Support Option (TSO) assists undergraduate students to successfully progress in their studies. Students who have already undertaken one semester of full/part-time study would benefit most from this option. However, some students in their first semester of study may benefit from a TSO course. Also, students experiencing challenges further into their undergraduate program, for example with Maths or Chemistry course content, may benefit from undertaking a relevant TSO course.
