Programs for new students

Academic Advice Day

Academic Advice Day is your first step as a student new to Melbourne. At this point you will receive the necessary information and advice to complete your enrolment, including subject advice.

This is also the best time to make sure you have your housing arrangements sorted out. We are running the following interactive workshops, focussed on helping you develop your house-hunting (and finding) skills.
