Semester 2 Orientation


3 to 7 August 2026, UC Bruce campus

Welcome to UC!

Orientation, also known as O-Week, happens the week before the semester officially begins.

It's designed to prepare you for success and kickstart your journey as a UC student. You'll attend a few essential informational sessions to learn how things work at UC and have access to a range of exciting social events.


Register for orientation

All commencing students are required to register for orientation.

Register for your mandatory faculty academic sessions and secure your place in the events that interest you. Sessions range from relevant study and careers support to wellbeing and social activities.

Download the O-Week app

Download the O-Week app using event code OWEEK26 and refer to your post-registration email for your personal login details. 

Once logged in, you'll be able to access your personalised timetable, campus maps, important information, exclusive O-Week offers and more.

FAQs

Yes. Registration is quick and easy. Once you register, you'll be able to download our app and access a personalised itinerary for the week.

We recommend heading to the UC Refectory (Building 1) to check-in and collect free merch from the Info Tent which will be available throughout O-Week from 9am to 2pm.

The team can help with any questions you have, including finding your course advice session and general wayfinding around campus.

You do not need to bring anything for O-Week. You may wish to bring a water bottle, and perhaps a pen and notebook if you'd like to take notes, but these aren't essential.

Orientation is designed to help students become familiar with campus, meet other students, and learn about the support services and opportunities available at UC. While none of the sessions are mandatory, attending Orientation is highly recommended, particularly your faculty course advice sessions, as they provide a valuable opportunity to have any questions about your course answered.

You'll receive an email with links to register and download the O-Week app, which contains the full schedule of events and can help you plan your week and access important information throughout Orientation.

If you're unable to attend your faculty course advice session, you can still access support and advice through your faculty's student enquiries team:

  • Faculty of Science and Technology: SciTech-StudentEnquiries@canberra.edu.au
  • Faculty of Business, Government and Law: bglstudent@canberra.edu.au
  • Faculty of Education: Education.Students@canberra.edu.au
  • Faculty of Health: health.student@canberra.edu.au
  • Faculty of Arts and Design: FAD.Student@canberra.edu.au

If you have any general questions about Orientation, please don't hesitate to contact the Orientation team at orientation@canberra.edu.au
