Orientation

The International Orientation Program and the wider University Orientation Week are extremely important. You should make every effort to arrive at your campus in time to attend.

Orientation consists of two parts. The first is specifically for international students. It will provide you with advice on studying in Australia, on the conditions of your student visa, and it will help you adjust to the Australian culture and assist you with academic skills. It also includes tours and events designed to familiarise you with your campus. The second part is the wider University Program where you will join with local students.

The program will:

Introduce you to the services and facilities at ACU National.
Give you important information about studying at ACU National and living in Australia to help with your transition.
Advise you on local government services and the local community.
Give you the opportunity to make friends with your fellow classmates and senior students just before starting your course.
Give you the opportunity to meet the staff from different areas of the university.
Incorporate enrolment activities into the orientation week.
