| All students are expected to arrive in Australia with enough time to commence classes by the program start date specified on their offer letter, and we recommend arriving 2 weeks ahead of Orientation Week (20-24 July 2026) to settle into accommodation and adjust to life on campus. We acknowledge that some students may face unexpected circumstances that affect their ability to arrive on time. Students who experience delays beyond their control will be permitted to arrive up until 7 August (end of Week 2), provided they: - have completed their course enrolment
- arrive on campus ready to attend classes from the beginning of Week 3.
Students arriving late are responsible for contacting their Faculty to confirm their course enrolment and keep up with study content. Please note that late arrival does not qualify students for assessment extensions. Some programs are not eligible for late arrival due to specific academic or professional requirements.
