Happy Holidays

There will be a change to UNSW and The Nucleus: Student Hub services during the UNSW end of year shutdown period.

UNSW will shutdown operations from the close of business on Tuesday 20 December 2022 and reopen on Tuesday 3 January 2023. The Nucleus: Student Hub phone and web channels will still be open with limited services. If you have a pending form or request, rest assured we’ll get back to you as soon as University services reopen.
