Your student resources hub
JCU’s Learning Centre is your central hub for resources to help you with assignments, referencing, written and spoken English skills, maths and statistics, exam preparation and more.
As an online student, you will have access to learning and career advice, and an annual program of study and research skills workshops and seminars.
Accessing the library
The JCU Library is an essential academic and student service that online students can access online 24/7. Any online student can use the library from anywhere to search and access books, eBooks, eJournal articles, as well as streaming media and more.
If you reside in Australia, but live further than 50km from either the Townsville or Cairns campuses, you can even borrow library books using the online request form which includes a free, post-paid bag to return materials. You can also request scanned copies of journal articles and book chapters.
