Welcome to Kent
Student orientation is your chance to familiarise yourself with our campus and get to know your fellow students before class begins. Orientation welcomes you to Kent and is a fun and informative way of ensuring your experience here is the best it can be. The day generally consists of presentations from Kent faculty of various departments informing you of Kent’s facilities, procedures and what is expected of you while studying here at Kent.
At orientation, all queries relating to course structure and timetables will be answered. It is also possible to make individual appointments with academic staff to answer any questions students have regarding unit or subject selection.
If you have any questions about our orientation day, email studentservices@kent.com.au and a team member will assist you as soon as possible.
