Preparing to start University can be a big change for many of our students. We've summarised the most important things that you need to know as a new student to help get you started including orientation activities, and where to go for help and advice.
Check out our support service information. There is a copy of these services in your student diary too so you can always contact us when you need to.
The Student Guide (for students studying at VU campuses in Melbourne) includes important enrolment, fees and administrative information which is also found in this section of the website.
If you are studying at one of our offshore partners (such as Sunway University), please refer to our Offshore student guide.
