Orientation

Your orientation is all about helping you get to know RMIT, your program, and everything that life at uni has in store for you!

Orientation at RMIT

O Week happens the week before classes kick off—it's your chance to dive into all things uni, both inside and outside the classroom!

During orientation, you’ll get all the important details about your program, meet your teachers, and settle in. It’s also the perfect time to explore campus, meet new friends, and have fun at all the social events and activities.

To get the most out of your first week, make sure you take part in all three key parts of orientation. It’s the best way to get ready for the exciting journey ahead!


The key parts of orientation

To help you settle into RMIT life, make sure you attend each of the three key elements of orientation.
