Incoming Exchange and Study Abroad


Incoming Exchange and Study Abroad Semester 1, 2012

A warm welcome to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne.

Studying at the University of Melbourne provides students with a rich academic and social experience on a wonderful campus in the midst of a city with a great lifestyle. On campus, you'll find hundreds of ways to meet students and have fun through clubs, sport, volunteering and travel, and you are encouraged to get involved in some of the activities that are on offer. A semester abroad is also a great way to explore new disciplines or study subjects that might not be available to you at home, so please take every chance to try new things.

The first few weeks at a new university is an exciting time, but we understand that it can also be daunting. We have staff available to assist you with all your questions, so please feel free to visit the Arts Student Centre to get the help you need.

 

What do I do before arrival?
  • Go to sis.unimelb.edu.au/welcome.html to create your personal university account.
  • Complete all of the online enrolment steps up until the system asks you to select subject, you will not be able to do this until you have had your passport sighted by a course advisor.
  • If you experience problems completing the enrolment we can assist you in your course advice appointment when you arrive.

What happens on the exchange and study abroad enrolment day, 17 February 2012?
  • Attend the compulsory international student briefing
  • Free lunch for study abroad and exchange students

Please bring your passport to the session. We must sight your passport before you can enrol.
