Update on LEARN outage

Leave a comment

Kia ora koutou,

There was an outage with the LEARN system early Friday evening, 2 August. It was discovered that any work entered or submitted into LEARN from 8am to 7pm Friday 2 August has been impacted.

All students are advised to check their LEARN page for updates to see if their coursework has been affected. If you are unsure please make contact with your course coordinator. They are there to support you and will respond to you as soon as they are able to.

LEARN is back online and we do not anticipate any further issues. I understand this may have caused some undue stress and I apologise for the disruption.

Ngā mihi,

We are excited to announce that Lads Without Labels and UC Wellbeing will be offering guided mindfulness sessions every fortnight during term time.

Mindfulness is a scientifically proven technique that can help to manage stress.

Come along to the Living Room space (next to the UC Bookshop) at 8am, settle in and relax for an 8:15 – 8:30 guided mindfulness, then help yourself to some kai and have a kōrero. Then shoot off to a 9am lecture or a uni day fed, relaxed and ready!

Semester 2 Mindfulness Monday dates:

Term 3:
Monday 5 August (Week 4)
Monday 19 August (Week 6)

Term 4:
Monday 9 September (Week 1)
Monday 23 September (Week 3)
Monday 7 October (Week 5)

Looking forward to seeing you on Mondays!
