• Enrol Now for Session 3 (Thursday, 8 October 2020)
  

  

  Check if there are units you are interested in completing over summer and enrol now! Help with enrolment is available at the Enrol webpage.

  The University has made a decision that all Session 3 units will only be offered online, with the exception of some units that require campus attendance. For unit availabilities, please refer to the Study Plans tab in My Enrolment.

  Your Timetable for Session 3 will be available during the week of 5th October 2020. If your unit has only one class time, you will be automatically registered into that class. If your unit has multiple class times, once class registration is open, you will need to register into your preferred option by going to the classes tab in My Enrolment. You will be able to register in your classes progressively from Monday 19th October 2020. Units that include field trips will be arranged through your unit contact.

  Need more help? Contact our Client Services team on 1800 005 687 or enquiry@scu.edu.au or chat to us on the SCU website webchat.

  
  
• National Mental Health Month (Thursday, 1 October 2020)
  

  

  National Mental health month is celebrated every year in October and incorporates World Mental Health Day, held all over the world on the 10^th of October. Each year the individual states adopt their own theme and slogan addressing various areas of mental and emotional wellbeing.
   
  The campaign aims to improve awareness about mental wellbeing, increase help-seeking behaviours, reduce stigma and understand the impact that it has on people, families and communities. This month encourages us to check in with our emotional wellbeing and provides us with opportunities to learn, support and engage in activities that highlight the importance of having positive mental health in our everyday lives.
  
  This couldn’t be more crucial in view of the COVID-19 pandemic we are experiencing and SCU invites you to share your tips and strategies to maintain healthy mental health and wellbeing as well as offering a calendar of events for the month of October with activities for you to engage in online, delivered by SCU and external agencies. 

   

   

  Please click below to share your tips and strategies to maintain healthy and positive emotional wellbeing and you could be in the running to win a $50 Coles voucher. At the end of the month we will collate all the responses and develop a Southern Cross University Healthy wellbeing tip sheet.
