Student Story

I have been pleasantly surprised by JCU and the course. It is extensive and intensive but I love it. I feel really well-supported. My Student Success Advisor Teju is fantastic. Nothing is ever too much trouble, she is very knowledgeable, and she has been very supportive and constructive in her comments and assistance.
