For over 20 years, we’ve been delivering the highest quality degrees to thousands of students online. We were the early adopters of distance education; forming our External Studies Department in 1978 and mailing students’ course material long before the internet was in our homes and hands. As technology has advanced rapidly, so too has our online teaching practices. That’s why we’re Queensland’s online learning experts.
Studying online is flexible - you can visit your classroom 24/7, listen to lectures on your lunch break, connect with classmates in forums, get library resources delivered to your door, and access thousands of academic materials online. Uconnect is your online student portal that brings everything you need into one easily accessible location.

In Semester 1, 2020 we launched a centralised support space founded on students ideas for a collaborative digitally-supported place where students can access knowledge and services from across the University - USQ iconnect. USQ iconnect enhances the services we offer to students and is the main information hub for students.
Your Student Relationship Officer will work alongside you to keep you on track to complete your studies. We provide in-depth, tailored support that is based on having real and honest conversations about where you are at with your studies so we can provide the best recommendations of the things you can do and access that will assist.
Contacting your SRO is easy - you can call, live chat, email or drop in if you're ever on campus. They also offer dedicated appointment times if you need assistance.
We understand the importance of getting a job after you finish your studies. Our Careers and Employability team offer a range of services to you as a current student to ensure that you're on your way to reaching your goal job.
