Getting Started

The one-day Getting Started program is designed for any students who would like some extra, one-on-one support and peer-connection before Orientation Day and the start of semester.

The program explores common challenges that students experience throughout their first year at university. Connect with friendly student mentors and hear about what you need to know and do to be successful.

You only need to attend one Getting Started Day either on campus or online.

Orientation Day

Attending Orientation Day is an essential part of starting your ACU journey. During your Orientation Day you will find out important information about your course, and what to expect in your first semester. Go on campus tours, learn about your campus student association, student clubs and societies, make friends, and speak to our expert staff about everything that ACU can offer you.

Late Orientations

Late Orientation Days are offered for students who were unable to attend their priority campus Orientation Day between 23 and 26 July 2024.

The Late Orientation Day program is not as comprehensive as the standard Orientation Day program, but it still encompasses several useful sessions. You will be introduced to key staff on your campus and to the range of student services available to you.

Foundation Studies Orientation

Are you commencing a Foundation Studies program in 2024? Your studies will start on 25 March 2024, and we invite you to attend tailored orientation sessions beforehand to help you settle in and explore your campus.

Term 4 Foundation Studies Orientation will occur in the week of 2 September. Final campus dates will be published shortly.
