Be Involved

Getting involved with your CQU community is one of the best ways to make the most of your time here. You'll have the chance to meet new people and make lifelong friendships by joining a Club or Society. 

Whether you're interested in joining an existing group or starting one of your own, we're here to help you every step of the way. Don't hesitate to contact our Student Events and Experience team if you have any questions!

As a student, you can benefit greatly from participating in sports. At CQU, various sporting opportunities are available across different locations and study modes. Whether you're interested in trying something new or competing on behalf of CQUniversity, there's something for everyone. You can represent the university by nominating yourself for UniSport Australia events such as Nationals Div 1 and Div 2, Indigenous Nationals, Athletics, Triathlon, and more!

Additionally, if you're looking for a fun and rewarding way to stay active, consider joining our CQUniMoves virtual trek challenges throughout the year. It's a great way to stay fit and healthy while enjoying yourself!

Whatever your interests, we have something for you to get involved in to enrich your university experience.

When you become a student at CQU you may like to connect with a Student Mentor or perhaps get involved as one yourself.  Student Mentors are current students who we equip with special training to help other students with non-academic advice about university life, study tips and tricks, and insight into CQU's support services.  So, if you enjoy helping others, meeting new people or perhaps need some help transitioning to study life, discover more about Student Mentors at MyCQU when you get started.

The Student Representative Council (SRC) is a collective group of students, elected by their peers, and appointed to engage with and advocate for the student community.  Members are elected to represent all cohorts and regions across the CQUniversity footprint. 

The SRC discusses a range of topics that contribute to the improvement of the student experience. All students are encouraged to submit topics or items for discussion at SRC meetings. To connect with your local SRC member, find out more about the Student Representative Council in MyCQU.

The Buddy Program is a great way to get involved on campus and meet new people as you start your journey at CQU. Through fun group activities, the program helps you connect with others, share experiences, and settle into university life and life in Australia. These activities are led by Buddy Leaders - experienced CQU students who are passionate about supporting international students and helping them enjoy their time at CQU.

Whether you want to make new friends, get tips and support for student life, or even become a Buddy Leader yourself, you can find out more about the Buddy Program on MyCQU.
