Mature Age Peer Support Program

About the MAPS community 

MAPS is designed to introduce you to other mature age students, non-recent school leavers, professional workers and all that UNSW has to offer. You will be welcomed to an online community where can get to know others in your cohort, access bespoke resources and seek support from mentors who are in a later stage of study throughout the term. You will also be encouraged to join meet-up events on campus where you can meet your peers and community in person! 

When does it run?

Term 1 and Term 3

Week 1 to Week 9 of term.

New student registrations

The MAPS Program is for new students who are 21 years of age or over, took a break after high school or have worked professionally before starting or returning to study.
