Let Arc distract you in a meaningful way each fortnight.
Food & Services
Food
Whether you're on Upper, Middle or Lower Campus, there are a sweet collection of cafés and eat-easies to suit any kind of tastebud. And the COFA students have not been forgotten! The Cornerhouse Cafe at Cofa has now opened to fill you with delicious eats and treats before, between and after classes. Store details, locations and opening hours are available here.
Arc Graduation and Gift Store
Once your degree is done and dusted, head over to the Grad and Gift store on Kensington Campus for all academic dress hire needs. If you're already an Arc member, be sure to show your Arc membership card to receive a discount on all dress hire. Grad and Gift will soon have an online store up and running to make things that little bit easier for you.
Facilities and Resources
Arc also offers you a range of facilities and resources to help you with whatever opportunity you're grabbing, including:
- Pottery Studio - unleash your creative talent and spin your Mum a bowl for her birthday
- Music Rooms - with upright piano or baby grand, it's the perfect place to practice emo-inspired ballads

Stationery Reuse Centre
Fancy some free stationery? Companies donate stationery they no longer need to help save the Earth and your wallet. The centre is run by Arc volunteers and all members of the UNSW community are welcome.
Level 1, Quad Building (East Wing)
Open 10am-4pm throughout semester
CONTACT Information and Referral Centre
CONTACT is a free service run by Arc to help UNSW students. Can't find a building? Don't know what bus to catch? Need a microwave? CONTACT can answer any question, big or small - or at least let you know where to go to find out. Best of all, it's completely run by student volunteers, so you can always be sure of a warm welcome.
Employment Opportunities
Arc offers a variety of positions within the organisation, as well as providing external opportunities.
Arc prides itself in offering UNSW students opportunities to gain work experience, develop skills and be involved in the development of campus culture. As a result, Arc employs hundreds of students for our retail, coordinator and internship roles.
Arc is also constantly seeking professional candidates who enjoy working in a fun, friendly, student environment.
