Op Shop
The UCX Op Shop provides students with the opportunity to purchase affordable clothing, homeware, small furniture, study materials and more. It also gives students and the UC Community the opportunity to donate items that they no longer want or need. With a focus on sustainability, the Op Shop is a great place to find amazing items at great prices. Students with a UCX Membership will also receive a discount and unlock access to items at prices as low as $2!
We are located at the UCX Student Lounge and are open two days a week during the semester.
Opening Hours:
Monday 11AM – 2PM
Thursday 11AM – 2PM
How it works
The UCX Op Shop is open to all UC community members. Students that are UCX Members will receive a discount on items that are already at a great price! With prices starting at $4 ($2 for UCX Members), the UCX Op Shop is too good to miss.
UCX Membership prices:
- $2 items will include items of clothing, shoes, stationery, cutlery and glasses.
- $5 items will include bags, clothing, sets of glassware and cutlery and various homewares.
- $10 will include small furniture, clothing and limited electronic items.
