Orientation Week
This week is O-Week - we can't wait to meet you!
Orientation Week, or O-Week, is the week before classes commence. Every student is required to attend Orientation prior to commencing their APIC studies.
O-Week is held on campus and an opportunity for you to learn about your rights, safety and wellbeing in Australia, your requirements as a student, the support services APIC provides, and to connect with your academic team and classmates.
O-Week provides all the information you need to know to commence your APIC course from Monday 30 September 2024!

Dedicated days to providing students one-on-one support, guidance and enrolment assistance!
Even though there are no on campus O-Week sessions on Monday 23 and Friday 27 September 2024 they are still important days of O-Week as they provide the opportunity to visit and meet with the Student Services Team for personalised one-on-one support and guidance.
If you have a personal question that you would like answered it's best to come to campus on Monday and Friday so your query can be discussed with a Student Services Team member in a more private setting than during the group O-Week sessions.
