The Student Learning Zone offers a range of options for students seeking individual or small-group advice. Learning Adviser appointments of up to 30 minutes are available via telephone, Zoom and in person from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 4.30 pm.

Appointments with Learning Advisers are booked via CareerHub. To access CareerHub and search available appointments click on the Make an appointment button below and log in using your MySCU login details. On the CareerHub home page, select "Appointments" to choose your topic and consultant.
