When to arrive

You should aim to arrive in Perth at least two weeks prior to the start of semester. This will give you time to arrange permanent accommodation, familiarise yourself with Perth and the surrounding areas and attend Orientation.

You are expected to attend a number of Orientation events such as the Welcome Day, your Course Induction and My International Day which is compulsory for all commencing international students.
