Enrolment and Orientation

Before you leave

See the Future Students website if you have any questions about accepting your offer. Once you have accepted, you can start planning your arrival. To help you get prepared, take our quizzes or meet new friends online via the Meeting Place before you even leave home.

Undergraduate students

You must attend Academic Advice Day to begin enrolment.
Semester 1 2010: Thursday 18 February 2010
Semester 2 2010: Monday 19 July 2010

We advise students to arrive about two weeks before Academic Advice Day. This will give you enough time to adjust and settle down. If you will be looking for a place to stay after you arrive, give yourself more time. The Student Housing Services website is a good starting point.
