Orientation

At AIPE, we understand how exciting, yet daunting, commencing study at a new college can be. That's why we offer a half-day orientation session for all on-campus students to make you feel comfortable in your new school and answer any questions you may have. During orientation, we will give you all the information you need to know about your new surroundings and introduce you to key staff members at the school.
Our orientation day includes:
- Welcome to the school
- Issuing Student Handbook, ID card, computer login and email accounts (AIPE offers lifetime email accounts to all its students)
- Guidance on how to access timetables and personal details via AIPE Connect (AIPE's web based online student portal)
- A tour of the AIPE campus and the surrounding area including the train station, banks, post office and food courts
Where required, staff will go through any outstanding paperwork and conditions of enrolment with you.
For international students, you'll need to bring your passport with an appropriate visa and your student insurance details. English language students will also sit a placement test to assess your English competency.
Please note that all Australian students who intend to study on-campus and all international students must attend the orientation session. New students cannot choose their timetable preferences until after attending orientation.
