NEW Online Booking Tool - Serko
Welcome to the first edition of Campus Concierge, a
monthly newsletter created specifically to bring The
University of Queensland the latest travel news,
updates and deals.
We have officially launched Serko, Campus Travel's

system which is now no longer in use.
In April we will launch a monthly competition where all
subscribers will have the opportunity to win some
great prizes. If you have not already subscribed to
receive Campus Travel news and alerts, you can do
so by clicking here.
Serko can be accessed by all UQ Staff via your work
computer. Simply click on the following button or find
the Serko page at http://www.campustravel.com.au/uq
Our first prize offering will be a $250.00 Campus
Travel voucher to spend on a booking of your choice.
Training on Serko will be available over the next
couple of weeks. To view available training sessions
