Orientation

Get Started at UOW!

Orientation at UOW isn’t a single event, it’s a full program that spans your whole first session. We’ve designed a series of support, connection, and learning opportunities to help you settle in and succeed.

By getting involved, you’ll learn everything you need to know about your course, faculty, classes and campus, and meet staff and fellow students before Week 1 begins. Whether you need enrolment advice, help navigating UOW systems, tips for accessing services, or you’re looking to make friends and get involved, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
