Arrival Information

ELICOS students

Prior to the commencement of your course there will be an English language test and orientation session. New students are requested to come to the International Student Services office at 8.45am on the start date indicated on your offer letter. You will meet other students who are starting ELICOS and we will give you directions for enrolment and take you to the room where you will sit your language test. Please bring your passport.

In the afternoon you will start your 1½ day orientation program. There you will find out your timetable and class start time for the first day of classes. As part of the orientation you will walk around the campus and the local shopping centre. So wear comfortable shoes, bring a coat and an umbrella if it is cold or wet.

Mainstream Course students

You are recommended to arrive 1-2 weeks before your course starts, so you have time to settle into accommodation and find your way around.

During the week before the start of most formal courses there will be a compulsory Orientation Program to introduce you to studying and living in Australia. This is a 3-day program. It is important for your success as a student at Box Hill Institute of TAFE that you attend.

Please contact the International Student Office within 2 days of arriving.

We will give you directions for your enrolment and the Orientation Program.

If anything is not clear please contact the International Student Office located at Elgar Campus, Building E9. Telephone 9286 9425.
