On Monday 25 May, the University introduced a new Student Hub model to make it easier for you to access support across campus. 

What you need to know: 

The Semester 1 Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) survey opened on 25 May. Check your email for links to available surveys and share your confidential feedback about your courses and learning experience. 

The final release of the Semester 2 timetable will be Friday 10 July, with MyTimetable opening for student allocations on Monday 13 July at 11am.  

This adjustment to the timetable schedule is in response to student feedback requesting more time between the publication of the final timetable and the opening of MyTimetable.

The ANU Careers & Employability team have opened a new physical home for Career Central at 23 University Avenue (the former Harry Hartog space). The space is open Tuesday to Thursday, 10am–3pm and is available to all ANU students and alumni. 

The new location brings College careers staff together across the Colleges into a more connected and consistent service and sits alongside the online platform. This means there is now both a digital and in-person place to go to for support with resumes, interviews, career planning, or exploring your next steps after study.  

There will be a special event held to celebrate the University’s 80th Anniversary on Saturday 15 August, between 10am–4pm in Kambri Precinct

Expressions of Interest are now open for ANU student clubs and groups to exhibit innovative, hands-on projects at the Community Day.

Submit your by Tuesday 30 June. 

Expressions of Interest are now open for student performers (DJ, musician, dancer, magician etc.) to be part of the Community Day.

Performances are voluntary, with selected performers supported through in-kind benefits and promotion as part of the official program.

For 80 years, Australia's national university has been shaped by people like you. As we mark this milestone, students are invited to share what ANU means to them. 

Share a photo of yourself, or a favorite part of campus, and say why you’re proud to be part of the ANU community. By taking part, you’ll help the University celebrate the diversity, depth and range of experiences that have shaped ANU over the past 80 years. . 

This week’s trivia question is: 

What is the name of the creek that runs through ANU?

Congratulations to our recent trivia winners, staff winner Buddhi Kothalawala and student winner Lauren Evans. Please contact ANU Corporate Communications to collect your prize.

Last week’s question and answer:

What is the common name of the duck breed seen most on the ANU campus? Bonus point for knowing the scientific name. Answer: Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta Jubata)

Did you know? Unlike many ducks, Australian Wood Ducks prefer grazing on land rather than swimming to forage for food, which is why you’ll often see them waddling around lawns and open spaces across campus instead of spending all their time in the water.

Your MyWay+ student concession expires on Tuesday 30 June. If your concession is not revalidated before it expires, your fare will automatically revert to a full adult fare. 

To continue accessing concession fares, students should reapply their concession and create a MyWay+ account to manage their details, receive expiry reminders and ensure the correct fare is applied when travelling on buses and light rail. 

Students are encouraged to act early to avoid paying full fares.  

Voting in the Semester 2 elections for the Woroni Board is now open and closes Friday 29 May at 5pm.

Students are invited to provide feedback on the draft ANU Sustainability Policy until 11 June 2026. 

From Tuesday 2 June to Tuesday 7 August, the ANU–Civic Loop Bus will trial an updated route, including new stops at Liversidge Apartments, Lennox Crossing and Crawford School of Public Policy. 

The Daley Road stop outside Johns XXIII has returned to service, while the Yukeembruk Village and Wamburun Hall stops will no longer be included. 

This is the final adjustment for the current trial, and staff and students are encouraged to share feedback to help inform future improvements to the service. 

The average person checks their phone 58 times a day. ANU researcher Associate Professor Rachael Brown wants us to ask a simple question: who’s really in control? 

The University is advancing a range of actions under the , (published December 2025). 

While there has been a gap between consultation and formal implementation of the strategy, work has continued across the University, with the and colleagues across ANU advancing actions through business-as-usual activity, governance, and change initiatives. Priority actions identified for 2026 are now underway, supported by dedicated funding and governance support.  

If you experience, witness, or believe you have caused harm, support is available. 

A disclosure is an informal and confidential process that allows you to access support, or to simply inform the University that something has happened. The University’s Harmful Behaviours Disclosure Tool facilitates both identified and de-identified disclosures.  

Identified disclosures will connect you to a Student Safety & Wellbeing Case Manager. They will explain formal reporting pathways if you choose to seek action against an alleged perpetrator. De-identified disclosures enable the University to look at patterns of behaviour and implement broader community responses. 

Content warning: This message references harmful behaviours, including sexual misconduct, harassment and violence. If this content causes distress or impacts your wellbeing, support is available through Student Safety and Wellbeing.

The University has published its 2025 Harmful Behaviours Report, reflecting our ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability and action to prevent and respond to harmful behaviours across our community. The report is available on the Respect@ANU webpage. 

Professor Joan Leach, Acting Provost and Senior Vice-President, says the report highlights our ongoing commitment to a safe and respectful community, and acknowledges the students who have come forward to share their experiences, and the staff supporting prevention, education and response efforts. 

While progress has been made, areas for improvement remain. ANU is committed to strengthening prevention, support and accountability, to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all.
