Other things to do during Welcome Week
- Collect your student card
- Pay your fees
- The Student Disability Service supports students with a range of impairments and disabilities. New students who think they may need to access the service should arrange to meet with a Student Disability Service Advisor. It is best to do this during Welcome Week, or during the first week of the semester, in order that any support arrangements can be put in place.
- If you are an international student, you will have to have to attend the International Check-In registration event. We advise you to do this as soon as you can when you arrive.
