Getting Started

GETTING STARTED

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 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
  • Receive campus and locality maps
  • Find out about the process of enrolling / registering for classes
  • Learn how to get your student ID card and your OSHC card
  • Get information on banking, key university facilities, student discounts on public transportation

After this session you will know the times of important university events and you can then start looking for permanent housing without missing out on vital university information.
