Life & Anxiety, an ACT approach workshop

We know it can be tough to experience anxiety while at University. The UC Health Centre is hosting an anxiety workshop series to provide students with the opportunity to explore new ways to experience life so that anxiety doesn’t run the show. You will be with a small group of likeminded students – a safe and supportive environment.

For enrolment or info reach out to Anna Dalzell, Counsellor at the UC Health Centre.

Planned Heating Outage – Tupuānuku Student Accommodation 3 July

There will be a total heating outage affecting the Tupuānuku Student Accommodation building between 8am and 5pm on Thursday 3 July.

Facilities Management Contractors will be completing the connection of the additional ground source heat pump to the existing mechanical pipework in the Tupuānuku Energy Centre, and there will be no heating in the Tupuānuku Student Building during this work.

What do you need to do?

Due to the time of year Residents and Staff are likely to find that the Tupuānuku student building is considerable colder than usual due to this heating outage.

  • Please take note that the works will be happening and that the heating will be off all day.
  • Dress warmly and to the weather.
  • Consider using other areas on Campus, such as the Library, the Undercroft, or a café, where heating will be operating.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank staff and students for their support as Contractors complete these connections.

Facilities Management.
