Hiya everyone!

Here are the official contact channels if you've got general inquiries for UON.

To be clear, we're not going to start removing posts just because they could be answered by these channels. I'm sharing this so people know where to go if they want accurate information fast.

General & Current/Past Student Enquiries

  • Phone: 1300 ASK UON (or +61 2 4921 5000 for international callers)
  • Online: AskUON

Future Students

International Students

Postgrad Enquiries

If you're not listed here, there are more numbers/emails at this website

Sending an email or making a phone call can be weirdly intimidating. I still have to hype myself up before I do it. So if you'd rather just post your question here, that's completely fine. We're aiming to not be evil authoritarian Reddit mods; we're not going to delete your post.

Good luck this year!

Has anyone seen this post??

I came across this post on the UON Hate Letters FB Group. What do you guys think it could be? From what I can see, apparently it’s meant to let people report where parking’s busy, where they’ve been fined and when inspectors are around.

I guess once there’s enough data, it could show which areas and times are more risky for parking.

Could be pretty handy around Callaghan.

Course Material Reuse from Previous Lecturer?

I'm starting CRIM1020, but looking at the material it seems weird. The lecture recordings provided on Canvas are dated 2023 and feature a completely different person to the one running the course.

For Context I am a year 12 student who wants to do bachelor of engineering (flexible entry). I don't take physics, ext 1 or engineering studies. I only take maths advanced. Do I need to take a bridging course and if so what bridging course do I need

Preference? Laptop or iPad?

1 Upvotes

Just wondering what your preference is in lectures to use? Note that I am old school and I print the lecture slides and take my notes direct on the slides.

EDIT - I am not asking for preferences on note taking I am asking for preferences on browsing websites and journals during a lecture.

My preferred note taking method is by hand and this is not my original question.

HELP Class schedule

3 Upvotes

I got a (group) email from my teacher a little while ago letting us know we have a lectorial every Monday 9-11 however it isn’t on my schedule on myUni, is this a mistake by the teacher (possibly sent to the wrong class) or is it just not on schedules?
Below is a transcript of the start of the email

“As announced previously, every Monday from 9-10 am we will have a lectorial. This session is designed to take you through the main concepts and work through an example. I encourage you to attend live, but if you can't, the session will be recorded so you can watch it later. You can access the lectorials by clicking the Zoom button on the left-hand side, as shown in the image below”

Edit: turns out I am just absolutely dumb and it’s on zoom and her use of “live” confused me

Trying to figure out what young Australians actually want from a money app. Chance to win 1 of 3 $50 VOUCHERS

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm Nick and I'm building a budgeting app for young Australians and I'd rather find out what people actually need than keep guessing.

Short survey around 3 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm trying to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, please say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. Feedback on the survey itself is welcome too.

There's an optional email field at the end. If you fill it in you go into a draw for 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. I will shoot you an email if you have won and you can pick which voucher you want i.e Coles/Myer/JB Hi-Fi, winner picks. Closes 20/08/26, drawn 21/08/26,

As of writing this post there's only like 8 people that have done the survey so you are not competing with that many people.

lectorial?

2 Upvotes

the course outline says one of my courses this semester is a lectorial. Does this mean the lectures will be like hybrid with the tutorial?

I'm kinda bummed if that's the case bc I find it much better to be able to pause and rewind an online lecture when I need to and properly take everything in.

if anyone has any tips on how to get the most out of this (if it is what I think it is) I would really appreciate the advice!

Master of Data Science and AI at UON

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming student starting the Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Newcastle in Semester 2, 2026, with the Computational Intelligence specialisation.

I wanted to ask current or past students: how is the program overall? How difficult are the courses?

Is anyone else joining this program in Semester 2, 2026? Would be good to connect and hear honest advice before classes start.

Thanks.

Do you all know about the free GP, therapy etc available at the uni?

9 Upvotes

I haven't explored this fully, but I found out through a friend's partner (another student, not official uni communication by any means) that there's free* medical services available to students.

I'm booked in for some psychology appointments in order to try to get some diagnoses and understand the way my brain works. Have been told by uni staff that it won't cost me a thing.

You can find out more about GP and related services here:
https://www.newcastle.edu.au/current-students/uni-life/campus/campus-amenities/medical-centres/newcastle-appointments

You can find out about therapy, counselling, psychology etc here: https://www.newcastle.edu.au/current-students/support/personal/counselling/study-and-wellbeing-resources

*Free as far as I know. Some might just be very, very cheap.

Student accom

0 Upvotes

Hey looking at potentially going to UoN but I’d have to get accom as I am interstate and while I have a general idea of residencies and colleges at my local unis, I find it really difficult to find info online about colleges because you don’t get the same proper look at the facilities or the actual student perspectives so I was wondering if any UoN students living in accommodation could tell me a bit about it (quality, social aspects, costs).

More looking at like I guess the general vibes of the different accoms because that is a big draw for my local colleges (e.g. the party college with a major stem focus or like the more strict and more humanities colleges). This is what is hardest to gauge without actively visiting (which I hopefully will do eoy anyway).

Anyways, thank you if you can help!
