Under Represented Group's Commencements and Graduations

CQUniversity tracks and monitors student success including attrition, retention, and completion rates by cohort type.

The data is reported to the Australian Government and is publicly available through the links below.

Support for underrepresented groups

We are proud to have the highest ratio of students from low socio-economic, mature age, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and first-in-family backgrounds. The University defines itself by who it embraces rather than who it excludes, and because of this is widely recognised as Australia's most inclusive university. We are focused on creating and build stronger relationships and sustainable opportunities that will enable equality and integration, greater study, employment and research prospects and the reciprocation of knowledge.
