The local collection directly supports programs taught on campus. Students benefit from the added service of being able to borrow material from other CQUniversity campus libraries in Central Queensland. Modern computing facilities combine with varied seating arrangements and study areas to provide students with a pleasant and functional environment in which to study.  For more information, please visit the CQUniversity Library website.

Student Mentors

The Student Mentor program provides peer support to first-year internal students.

Involvement in the Student Mentor program is voluntary, but the University encourages students to make the most of this support program during their first year on campus.
