Getting Settled

Here at UWA, we are committed to helping you settle in and feel at home in our campus community. You're welcome to drop in and see the First Year Adviser or First Year Coordinator without an appointment. You might drop in if you:

• missed out on orientation activities and are feeling a bit lost
• are looking for information about the way things work here
• would like to talk to someone who understands how difficult it can be settling into University
• have ideas about how we could improve things for first year students at UWA.

It is normal to have many questions when we enter a new environment and are trying to gather information and find our way around the environment and understand how to navigate the system. University is no different! The key to settling in quickly is to find out where to get help and how to access the information you need. Check out the links below.

If you can't find the information you are after here, contact the First Year Adviser or First Year Coordinator
