Haere-roa

Haere-roa’s open again, just remember to bring your Canterbury Card because you’ll need it to gain entry. Opening hours during exams are Monday to Friday 8AM–9PM, and Saturday to Sunday 9AM–5PM.

And a heads-up that we have a new study space set-up for exams, which has free hot drinks courtesy of the UCSA Exec Team (drink stall operates 9-19 June 10AM til 5PM Monday to Friday).

Representation

The Exec Team are advocating for you at every opportunity and are working closely with UC. If you want to ask a question or pass feedback on, get in touch by email here. You can also get regular updates from them in our News section.

Student support

• Food services: In response to COVID-19, the Food Support Service will be distributed through e-vouchers rather than parcels. However, we’re now providing the normal UCSA Foodbank service from Haere-roa (with Foodbank Grant still available as an option for students who aren’t able to come on campus).
• Class Reps: The class reps are working remotely – feel free to get in touch.
• The UCSA Flu Vaccination Subsidy Scheme: Our subsidy has launched and you can get details on how to apply here.
• Subsidised optometry: We’re able to supply digital optometry vouchers online, and from Monday 18 May you also have the option of visiting UCSA reception, Haere-roa, to apply (please bring your valid UC student ID card). Details about the scheme can be found here.
• Menstruation emergency, borrow-a-calculator and borrow-a-bike: Haere-roa is open Monday to Friday (with swipe-card access) and UCSA reception can help with these services.
• UCSA Dental: The dental service has reopened and students can make bookings online.
