Orientation

If you've received confirmation of your enrolment, the next step is to login and begin accessing your timetable. Often, orientation is the first day of class in your timetable, but in other cases, orientation means attendance at campus before classes start. 
   

Apprenticeships and traineeships

If you’re an apprentice beginning study you may need equipment; PPE, tools, licences, standards, stationery and more to start your skill building in our workshops. Find out what to bring for your course using the link below. 

For orientation, your call up letter will provide instructions for when and where you should start your training. Your lecturer will assist with orientation on your first day.
   

Courses that are not apprenticeships or traineeships

For the courses or training areas listed below, you should be aware of additional requirements ahead of time. For specific orientation dates and times for semester-based study, visit the semester orientation page.

Please note: this information is not expected to replace the instructions in your letter of offer. It is a guide to assist students in planning for their study. You may also receive additional instructions from your lecturer on your first day regarding textbooks, equipment, stationery and computer access.
