CQUniversity runs a mix of online and on-campus experiences throughout Orientation Week.
We understand it takes time to plan your journey and arrive in Australia. How you attend Orientation will depend on your arrival status.
If you plan to arrive before Orientation Week, you should book your local Campus Experience events including the Online Orientation Watch Party.
If you won't be in Australia before Orientation Week, you should book these essential online events:
- Welcome to Uni webinar,
- International Student Essentials webinar,
- Meet your Lecturer webinar.
Once you have booked the essential events, you should book these additional online workshops:
- All About Uni workshops are a great way to ask questions about topics like fees, timetabling and more.
- Academic Learning Centre (ALC) workshops are an opportunity to develop your study skills before you get busy with classes and assessments.
To view the date, times, and locations for each of these events and book to attend, visit our booking system and fill in the Orientation Questionnaire.
After you have booked Orientation events, you can log in to view and manage your personal Orientation schedule at any time.
