Your ideas and feedback are important to UC

It's important that students are given a range of opportunities to provide feedback and (although it may not always seem obvious) we really do make use of what you tell us.

Recently some students have been asked to complete the International Student Barometer Survey (ISB). Thanks if you've taken the time to complete the survey and it's not too late if you've just noticed it sitting in your inbox! The information you provide tells us what's working, what's frustrating and what you think of UC to date. Please be sure to complete the survey if you've been approached.

The Student Services Levy - where do your dollars go?

Another recent engagement opportunity that should interest all students is a survey organised by the Joint Operations Advisory Board (JOAB) to find out what you want the Levy money spent on. If you have an opportunity to take part in focus groups be sure to give honest feedback - this is your chance to make a real difference.

Here's the UCSA's take on the Student Services Levy...

Changes to SkyDrive – act now to keep your 25GB of storage!

Did you know about SkyDrive? With your UC account, it gives you 25GB of free storage which you can access anywhere, anytime. Microsoft are now making a few changes to the service which could reduce your capacity to 7GB - but if you act now, you can keep the 25GB for free.

Campus theft

On Monday 7 May sometime between 1.30-2.30pm, two leaf blowers were stolen from the back of the Property Services Gator vehicle, which was parked by the entrance to the coal bunker on Engineering Road. These units are in regular service keeping campus clean and tidy, and UC Security would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the theft occur. Please email Security, call them on ext. 6888 or visit 114 Ilam Road with any details.

Please take this as a reminder to keep an eye on your valuables, and to report any thefts or suspicious behaviour on campus to Security.
