Let Arc distract you in a meaningful way each fortnight.
Food & Services
Arc Stores
Need to buy something? Arc stores can hook you up with everything you need on campus: magazines, phone cards and recharges,, travel passes, food and drinks, as well as a large range of stationery, lab coats, safety glasses, logo wear, USBs and academic dress hire.
We benchmark our pricing against major competitors ensuring you are receiving the best possible price on campus. The sweetest deal of all? All profits made in Arc stores are recycled back into Arc to provide better student services for you. Arc members also get 20 Arc $$ to spend in stores.
Arc Retail is commited to providing products that are relevant to you - if there is something that you need and can't find it in Arc stores, fill out the Feedback Form online or in the Arc stores, at Arc Reception and in the Roundhouse.
Store details, locations and opening hours are available here.

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

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 both within the organisation as well as 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 employ 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.
