Attending Orientation Week in person at UWA College is mandatory. In rare instances, for example, compassionate circumstances, or in the case of visa delays, we may accept your arrival in week 1 of the trimester. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
If you aren't able to arrive in Perth on time, you won't be able to commence your studies with us for the trimester.
If you are concerned that you may be in this situation, we recommend emailing our team as soon as possible: uwacollege@uwa.edu.au
From thereon, we will continue to be in touch over the coming weeks to discuss your options, so please ensure you're checking your emails regularly.
