Frequently Asked Questions

Taree Universities Campus (TUC) is part of the Regional University Centres initiative funded by the Australian Government. We are a not-for-profit community driven organisation.

Regional University Centres help students in regional and remote areas access higher education without having to leave their community. They provide student support and campus-style facilities for students who study online.

We are not a university; rather, we provide support and services to residents of the MidCoast LGA in order to make graduation from online university study more achievable.

We have partnered with key universities to offer their students more tailored in-person support. However, ANYONE living in the MidCoast Local Government Area who is enrolled to study at university or TAFE online can register now to enjoy the FREE services & facilities available at our Campus.

By registering with TUC, you can enjoy a range of support options at our Campus, including:

• Swipe-card access from 5am-Midnight, 7 days per week

Our Campus, its services and facilities are available to any MidCoast resident who is undertaking tertiary studies.

Tertiary study online can be a great next step for people from all walks of life: recent high school leavers, those looking for a complete change of career or perhaps those who are looking to further specialise or upskill in their chosen field.
