UniPASS supports around 30 units each semester &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs30991.pcdn.co%2Fstudents%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F12%2FUniPASS-Units-2024-S1-20231213.pdf&amp;data=05%7C02%7Csara.culverhouse%40curtin.edu.au%7C7fba018f4c5041f375ec08dc25f36bb7%7C5a740cd757684d09ae13f706b09fa22c%7C0%7C0%7C638426974611513918%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=v2zIQQCJXj4%2FBi6MAgvNFYVnYn%2BoXTPGd%2FrfSAF9qgY%3D&amp;reserved=0\">see if we are supporting one of your units here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s four reasons why you should come along:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Learn study skills<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone learns in different ways. UniPASS sessions incorporate a variety of study styles which can help you find the best method for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something for everyone with activities such as worksheets and collaborative mind-maps; and engaging social group activities like debates and celebrity heads. These diverse activities are structured around the unit content and are designed to appeal to different study styles, giving you some ideas about what style works best for you. These study techniques can then be used in other units throughout your degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you are a high achiever or just looking to get through, UniPASS is for students at every level!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Meet new friends and future colleagues<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important aspects of uni life is meeting people and making new friends. With the recent focus on online learning, meeting other students can be difficult. Most UniPASS sessions are face-to-face, meaning that you can see and talk to a diverse range of students doing similar units to you. It\u2019s super important to get your face out there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students from all types of courses attend UniPASS sessions meaning that you get to know future professionals across many different industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Get guidance and support with your units<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>UniPASS facilitators are students (just like you!) who have previously done well in the unit that they facilitate. Using this knowledge, they are able to help guide you through the content and give you advice on where to focus. This is a great resource as they can point you in the right direction and help you avoid making common mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with a particular topic or issue, and it\u2019s not something we can help with, we can point you in the right direction to get more help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s free and flexible!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part about UniPASS is that it is free and super flexible! There is no need to book or bring anything, UniPASS sessions have all the necessary material provided (including free lollies!). The only things you need to bring are yourself and a can-do attitude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in giving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/students\/study-support\/skills\/unipass\/\">UniPASS<\/a> a try?
