Are you about to start your Start TAFE Now course? Feeling a little overwhelmed or don’t know where to start? We have come up with 7 tips for you.
Check out our list below!
1. Read our guide
CQUniversity has developed the Study Preparation Guide, a great resource designed to introduce you to CQUniversity and prepare you for the learning journey ahead. We have included information about systems, policies, finances, and how to stay connected and access support services. Keep this document on file for future reference throughout your journey as a Start TAFE Now student.
2. Keep good communication with your teacher
This is important for ensuring your success with your learning. Use your student email for all communications as it is your official communication channel to stay in touch. Make sure you are checking it regularly and reading your emails.

3. Set up good study habits
Your teacher will provide you with a plan for what learning they need you to complete. Make sure you review this regularly and consider how much time you need to commit ensuring your learning tasks are completed. Check out our blog on how to study online.

6. Join a club or society
Study at university isn’t all work and no play. Clubs and societies (CGS) are available for students who have a passion, hobby or interest and want to share it with other students. Whether it’s sport, yoga, law, physiotherapy or board games, there’s a wide variety of options to choose from.
If there’s no club or society for your interest, you can start one of your own! Get in touch with the Student Representative Council at CQUniversity and get involved while you study!
