Enrolment and Orientation matters for international students
Most Orientation activities are provided for all students, and are based on whether they are commencing undergraduate or graduate courses. There is no separate Orientation program for international students and we encourage students to attend events together as much as they can.
There are, however, specific additional requirements related to enrolment and orientation for international students. Information and resources are available from from International Student Services: intranet site http://esos.acs.unimelb.edu.au/logon.aspx This is a staff-only site, you can log in using your Unimelb username and password.
