If you really want to embrace a sense of community while studying here, join a student club! (Or a dozen!) There are clubs for just about everything, from anime to diving to medieval reenactment; they’re an excellent way to make new friends, particularly those with whom you share a common interest.

UNSA provides support to numerous student clubs at UON. We provide funding for club activities, help with logistics (room bookings, governance, etc.) and promote club activities through our website, social media and mailing list.

If you’ve looked through our Clubs Directory and still can’t find the perfect club for you, why not start one? It’s a simple process, and we’ll walk you through it. We’ll even help you put a call out for other students who want to join! Check out our Starting a Club page for more info.

State- and nation-wide advocacy is one thing, but what if you have an issue that’s far more personal? Food or housing insecurity, for example. Or stress, anxiety or depression. Conflict on campus, or at home. Or something you’ve received from the University, such as a letter of Show Cause, or an accusation of Academic Misconduct.

There are a wealth of student support services you can lean on at UON – from Counselling to Careers, Accessibility, Academic Learning Support, the Office of Student Advocacy, the UON Library, the Chaplaincy, UON Global and Graduate Research, to name just a few – and we are well acquainted with all of them. If we don’t have the answer to your question, or all the information you’re looking for, we can definitely help you connect with the people who do.

And if you just want to know how to find your classroom in the Hunter Building, that’s totally fine as well. That place is haunted. Each night, the corridors rearrange themselves.

And we do even more! From free food on campus to equipment hire, discounted training courses, sporting/gym facilities and Opus Magazine, UNSA is a kraken with many tentacles.
