Important Dates

Orientation and Enrolment

At York Institute we provide orientation at the start of every term for new students. Orientation is usually held Thursday mornings at 9AM prior to the course commencement date. This session is compulsory for all newly arriving international students. Students will get a chance to meet the staff, tour the campus, receive their timetables and student IDs. This also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the program or living in Australia. Students will also receive the Student Handbook and all forms relevant to their time at York.
