Yes, our library is also accessible online.
Archives
USP Cook Islands is proud to host Emeritus Professor Ron Crocombes archives. There are 240 boxes in this collection and this is accessible from our campus library. A catalogue of the collection can be viewed here.
A big Meitaki Ma’ata to the Crocombe family for donating and trusting us with these materials and to Volunteer Service Abroad who provided us with the expertise and tools to make this collection possible! A special thanks to Tim Jones and Jennie Hood, the archivists who did the hard yards to ensure these materials are preserved, collated and available to the public! Meitaki Maata!
Te Puna Vai Mārama (Cook Islands Centre for Research) is a joint venture between the Cook Islands Government and the University. Te Puna Vai Mārama aims to be the premier place of research in the Cook Islands. If you are thinking about doing postgraduate studies or have an idea for a thesis or research project Te Puna Vai Mārama can help.
Courtesy of Volunteer Service Abroad we are lucky to be welcoming on board Savannah Sullivan this year as our Student Learning Support. Keep an eye out for the workshops that Savannah will be running throughout the semester centered around academic skills, moodle navigation, note-taking, referencing techniques, academic vocabulary and creating effective presentations. Savannah will also be able to speak to you one-on-one to provide you with the support you need to successfully navigate your studies.
You can contact Savannah by email to savannah.sullivan@usp.ac.fj or book a one-on-one appointment with her here.
After you have registered you will receive an invoice from our Finance Department. We invoice based on the courses you are registered for in any given semester.
