How2RMIT
Learn all about starting and succeeding at RMIT from experienced students in hybrid (on campus and online) sessions and campus tours.
How2RMIT sessions and campus tours are packed with essential information that will help new and returning students to get ready and organised to make a smooth start to the semester and succeed at RMIT.
In How2RMIT experienced students explain everything - from timetabling, fees and loans, to studying successfully, making friends, finding your way around, getting involved in the RMIT community, free support services, and lots more.
How2RMIT is made up of 3 parts: How2GetStarted, How2GetAhead and Campus tours.
How2GetStarted is a 1-hour information session where experienced students will show you everything you’ll need to know and do before classes begin this semester.
How2GetAhead is a 1-hour session where experienced students will tell you what they wish they knew when starting at RMIT, so you can get the most out of your time and set yourself up for success.
Experienced students will showcase your campus, share stories about their university experiences, and provide insights into what they wish they knew when starting at RMIT, so you can gain a feel for campus life!
Campus tours are running at City Campus, Brunswick and Bundoora.
