What is ACU Thrive?

ACU Thrive is a unique approach to your first year at university which prioritises your success every step of the way. It ensures you can thrive in all aspects of your transition into higher education, including how you learn, where you learn and how you make meaningful connections with other students, staff, and the wider ACU community.

Your first year at university should challenge you – but it should also be enjoyable and manageable. With us, you’ll be supported with both independent and collaborative learning, given the opportunity to prepare for classes in advance, and have close support from your teaching staff. It’s a thoughtfully designed approach to university that focuses on helping you grow, not burning you out.

At ACU, we want to help you thrive academically, personally, and socially throughout your time at university. You’ll have the chance to get a head start on your studies by accessing high-quality online learning materials and preparing for classes ahead of time. The online content is designed to be easy to navigate and engaging, ensuring you can learn at your own pace. In-class activities are collaborative and interactive, making the most of your time on campus. You’ll also receive guidance from teaching staff to help you adjust to the academic challenges of your first year.
