Counselling & guidance
Counselling is available to all Curtin Singapore students. It is a voluntary and confidential service that provides students with a safe space to discuss concerns that may be difficult to share with family or friends.
Students may seek support on a range of issues, including personal and cross-cultural matters, study and learning strategies, stress management, and other non-academic challenges.
Counselling appointments are available at the following times (excluding term breaks and public holidays):
- Monday and Wednesday: 9.00 am – 12.00 pm
- Tuesday and Thursday: 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm
Alternatively, students may also email to counselling@curtin.edu.sg to request for an appointment or visit Student Connect for assistance. Student Connect is open from Mondays to Fridays from 8.30am to 6.00pm.
Curtin Access Plan
A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the reasonable adjustments recommended for a student with a disability/medical condition to enable equitable access to their studies and assessments.
Our counsellor will negotiate the content of the CAP with you and it will only contain information that you agree to release. It can include information about your disability/medical condition if you wish to disclose this information.
A CAP has an end date after which it is not valid. This date is determined by the counsellor depending on a number of factors. In some cases it is valid for the duration of your course.
It’s your responsibility to ensure that your unit coordinators have a copy of your CAP each study period.
You may also lodge a copy with the Director of Academic Services, Curtin Singapore. This will help to ensure that any agreed adjustments can be implemented effectively at the campus.
