MySCU is going through a major improvement from our current learning sites to new, enhanced MySCU learning sites. While this may be seen as a technical process, it is underpinned by the desire to create a more seamless experience for staff and students. 

The new MySCU learning sites offer simple navigation, a mobile-friendly layout, and contextual tools that minimise clicks. The transition is based on an enhanced student experience and will leverage student and staff feedback across the project.
