Getting Started sessions are designed to assist you with the smooth transition to campus life. Attend a Getting Started in the first 2 or 3 days after you first arrive. Attendance at one session is recommended for all new students and is compulsory for all new international students at any level of study including transfer students. Please note the Getting Started is ONLY for students starting their formal UQ degree program in the current semester.

At this session you will

• Meet an International Student Advisor
• Find out about the process of enrolling / registering for classes
• Learn how to get your student ID card
• Get information on services on campus and key university facilities
• Transport and concession
• Finding your way around UQ and inner Brisbane
• At start of Semester 1 and Semester 2 receive an Orientation Week Flyer (with checklist and map).

For more information about finding permanent housing and accommodation information, there will be an Accommodation session held after the Getting Started session in the same location and room. For more information, please read the Getting Started Booklet which can be downloaded below.
