Pacific student support

Are you a Pacific student studying at AUT? We got you! Our Pacific student wellbeing and success team offers guidance and advice – from Pacific people for Pacific people – to help you navigate your university journey; no matter what stage of your studies you’re at.

We offer a holistic approach to support you in your studies, so that you can stay the course and cross that stage at graduation.

Villages: visit our Vā Pasifika spaces

Come and study in our Vā Pasifika spaces, meet others in your faculty and receive the support to set you up for success at university.

Our Vā Pasifika spaces are open daily at all three campuses, and our team of navigators (Pacific student mentors) are on hand to help you out from 12pm to 6pm each weekday during semester.

Where to find our Vā Pasifika spaces

• South Campus: MC214, MC building
• City Campus: WA301A, WA building
• North Campus: AE125, AE building

Follow us on Instagram to receive updates on Village Meets, our programme of workshops and academic support sessions across the semester.
