About CUC Isaac

What is CUC Isaac?

Country Universities Centre (CUC) Isaac is a local not-for-profit organisation providing dedicated learning and study spaces for students in the Isaac region, designed by regional people for regional people.

We’re part of a national network of regional study hubs that help students study locally, stay connected to their community and succeed in their chosen course.

Where are your Centres?

We have two Centres:

  • Moranbah — 35 Town Square, Moranbah
  • Clermont — 21 Daintree St, Clermont

We also provide outreach to surrounding communities across the Isaac region.

Is CUC Isaac a university?

No. We don’t deliver courses ourselves. Students stay enrolled with their own university or education provider, and CUC Isaac provides the study space, technology and support to help them succeed while studying locally.
