Orientation

Each TAFE NSW campus conducts an orientation session before each course begins.

The orientation session provides new students with information about:

• The campus
• Living in Australia
• The range of services available to international students
• Whom to contact if you need help during your stay

You are also introduced to your International Student Coordinator and you meet other international students who are starting at TAFE NSW.

It is very important that you attend the orientation session which will:

• Answer many of your questions
• Help you settle into your new environment
• Help you in your studies

Arrange your flights so that you arrive in Australia at least one week before your course starts so that you can attend the orientation session.

Orientation sessions are designed by each campus to suit their particular students.

Orientation sessions include:

• Welcome and introduction to the campus
• Campus tour
• Enrolment procedures
• Visa regulations
• Information on counselling and career services
• Study skills
• Student support services
• Accommodation information
• Library resources
• Medibank
• Banking
• Local places of interest
• Lunch
