Starting university is exciting. There’s a lot to take in before you begin your classes with UQ Science, so we’re here to guide you.
Before Orientation Week (O-Week runs 12 to 16 February), there are some tasks to complete and some sessions you may want to join.
All commencing students will receive a series of emails leading up to O-Week including registration links to compulsory induction sessions, so please check your student email regularly. You'll need to activate your student account to gain access to your UQ student email address.
1. Activate your student account
Visit Starting at UQ to activate your student account, including your UQ student email address and login.
You’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to enrol, select your preferred classes, understand fees and key dates, prepare for the semester, and more. Make sure you click through all the steps.
2. Plan your study program
Take a look at the study plan for your program. This will help you make the right decisions when enrolling in courses.
Need some help with this? Join a Getting Started session below.
3. Attend our Getting Started sessions
Unsure where to start? Our Getting Started sessions teach you all the basics to get you started at university.
We recommend attending as many sessions as possible as they all cover different, and important, UQ systems and services that you will use throughout your university journey.
