澳-昆士兰大学-2025年S1晚报道信息&接机&迎新周

To support your students preparing for Semester 1, 2025 at UQ, we've compiled a list of essential information.

To avoid any delays caused by visa processing, we encourage applicants to accept their offer and pay their deposit fees as soon as possible.

All students are expected to arrive in Australia with sufficient time to commence their studies from the beginning of Week 1. We highly recommend students arrive early to settle into accommodation and attend Orientation Week.

We are aware that some students may face visa delays beyond their control. International students impacted by visa delays will be permitted to delay the commencement of their studies up to Friday 7 March 2025, provided they have completed their course enrolment and have arrived on campus ready to attend classes by this date. Any students commencing their studies late will be responsible for contacting their Faculty to ensure that they enrol in the appropriate courses. The name of the appropriate Faculty can be found on the offer letter. Students will not be able to seek extensions for assessments based on their late arrival. Once enrolled, it is the students' responsibility to contact their course coordinators and arrange to catch up on any work that they have missed.

International students seeking to commence after 7 March 2025 are required to submit their request via email (iaslatearrivals@uq.edu.au). Approval is on a case-by-case basis.  

International students enrolled in the following programs are excluded from late arrival and must arrive by the course start date:

Psychology postgraduate programs

Our welcome crew will be at the airport (International Terminal) between 7am to 8pm from 2 February to 23 February 2025 to welcome new international students.

Complimentary airport pickups are offered 24/7 from Sunday 2 February to Sunday 23 February 2025, at both International and Domestic Terminals.

Students should request airport pickup at least 24 hours before your intended arrival date.

More information about the complimentary airport pickup shuttle service can be found on the International student airport welcome and shuttle service webpage.

All new or continuing students preparing to arrive in Australia are invited to attend an International Student Pre-departure information session.

These sessions will cover accommodation and airport reception, planning finances and health insurance coverage. Students will also be given tips on what to pack, what to expect upon arrival to Australia and an overview of the University campuses.

Session details:

Please remind students to plan to arrive in Australia before O-Week (17 - 21 February 2025). It's the perfect start to university life. It helps students settle in, meet new friends, explore campus and get vital study tips. With faculty welcomes, social events and support services on hand, attending ensures a smooth transition to UQ.
