Everyone finds their place in our community

USC is much more than a learning environment – it’s a vibrant community that values and respects everyone in it. We have high standards of learning, and we also place great value on relationships and inclusion.

Our community welcomes parents, who are a key part of a student’s learning journey, and we involve parents in mentoring discussions, parent webinars and other functions to help them enjoy the college community. We are in regular communication with parents to seek their feedback and input, and to ensure we are meeting their needs as well as those of the students.

Our graduates stay in touch with their community through reunions and the Old Scholar Association, and also contribute to the college through sharing their knowledge, expertise and contacts that they have built – and are building – in their own industries. 

USC is a place where…

USC is a place of welcome, inclusion, connection and where deep relationships are valued between staff, students and student to student.

USC is a diverse and respectful community in a safe and supported adult learning environment that encourages academic rigour in a high culture learning environment.
