First Steps Reminders

First Steps Check List

The Pre-arrival Guide for Regional and International Students includes important reminders about tasks that students need to complete early as they prepare to enter the university.  Some of these tasks are relevant for all students.  We therefore present a general checklist. 

FIRST STEPS REMINDERS

Accept Your Offer

Return your acceptance form immediately by email to the email address indicated when the letter of offer was received. Formal acceptance of your offer is necessary to activate the steps towards orientation and registration.

Return Required Documents

Return all required documents to the Admissions Office as requested in your offer letter. These include:

  • Medical Form (including a copy of your Immunization Record)
  • Photos
  • Financial Declaration Form (where relevant)
  • Full-time/3-Year Request Form with relevant documents (where applicable)
  • Student Visa Immigration Forms (where applicable)
 

Note that overseas students have the option to submit the original documents or certified copies on arrival at the Campus prior to registration or they may be sent via regular mail. Have copies of originals to leave with the Admissions Office.

Ensure that you have adequate funds to cover your fees, meals, transportation and living expenses for the duration of your programme. You may pay your fees before you arrive, and you may pay in full before registration.
