Orientation & EnrolmentA compulsory orientation for all new international students is held in the week immediately before the start of session. This will be your official introduction to the University and will give you the opportunity to make new friends and to settle into Wollongong before lectures commence. Orientation Week is designed to familiarise you with the campus, staff and facilities. Information sessions and group discussions on a large range of topics will be held during the week:
- Services and facilities available on campus
- Overseas Student Health Cover
- Study skills and essay writing
- General information about living in Australia, local customs and attitudes
- Campus tours
Orientation week also includes the formal Enrolment process, which includes registration in individual subjects, lecture and class times, obtaining your student card and other formal administration relating to your enrolment at the University. Faculty orientation seminars are also held and you will have the opportunity to consult with academic advisers from your course to assist with selection of subjects and your program of study. Full details of the program of activities will be available before the start of each session on the Orientation website. International full-degree students can find additional information about orientation on the International Student Advisers site. Study Abroad and Exchange students (enrolling in one or two sessions at UOW and graduating from your home university), you will be sent information about Orientation and enrolment procedures via email before your arrival in Wollongong. Once you have arrived in Australia, an information package containing more details about the Orientation program will also be waiting at your Hall of Residence or in the Study Abroad Office for students staying in private accommodation.
