Motto: “Journey to the Finish!”
In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) reaffirms its unwavering commitment to ensuring that no student is left behind. The UCC has launched the “Journey to the Finish!” initiative; a coordinated academic and student recovery plan designed to help students resume their studies and access support services.
This initiative reflects UCC’s core values of resilience, compassion, and community. Guided by our commitment “to build a compassionate and sustainable academic support system that empowers students to overcome challenges and achieve success, no matter the obstacles” we are walking alongside each student on their journey to academic completion and personal recovery.
Academic Continuation Plan
UCC remains committed to academic flexibility and support as students recover from the impact of Hurricane Melissa.
Financial Relief & Support
We recognize that the hurricane has caused unexpected financial strain for many students. The university is considering several options to ease the burden and ensure continued access to education.
Student Well-being & Counselling
Your emotional health matters just as much as your academic progress. UCC’s Counselling and Wellness services are available to help you navigate stress, loss, and recovery.
Student Check-In & Verification
To ensure that all students are accounted for and receiving the necessary support, please complete the UCC Student Check-In Form.
Community & Volunteer Support
UCC’s spirit of community shines brightest in times of need. Join our collective effort to uplift and support fellow students.
