Orientation Countdown
Your introduction to university life.
Your orientation is a interactive multi day program, where you can explore everything the University of Tasmania has to offer. We have developed a jam-packed orientation program for each campus, where you will attend compulsory and opt-in sessions to get you prepared, excited and feeling confident for your first semester of study.
Commencing students are encouraged to attend all activities (compulsory and opt in) for a immersive introduction to studying at the University of Tasmania.
Orientation program overview
It is compulsory for you to attend the two sessions below:
- Bachelor of Nursing Orientation (Lunch included)
- Professional Experience Placement (PEP) Compliance Workshop
It's also highly recommended that you participate in the other sessions offered across the program. You only need to attend one of each session.
Each day you'll have the opportunity to speak with a Student Adviser about your course and study plan - including how to choose what units to enrol in. Student Advisers can also help with academic progress and personal issues that might impact your study.

The Tasmanian University Student Association has over 130 clubs and societies for students to join, ranging from acrobatics to zero waste and everything in between.
The biggest event of the year for these clubs is Clubs and Societies Day, which takes place during the first week of the semester and is a great opportunity for students to sign up for their favorite clubs and meet new people. Joining a club or society is a great way to build networks, make lasting friendships, and have fun while at university.
