Enjoy your start to uni life by engaging in the three elements of Orientation:
Engaging in the three parts of Orientation (How2RMIT, program inductions and O Week) isn’t compulsory and won’t affect your enrolment status. However, we highly recommend taking part in all three. The activities and experiences are a rite of passage for new students and a great way to get to know the vibrant RMIT community. It’s also a chance to meet people and make friends.
Orientation is also when you’ll receive essential information and support to help you settle in and succeed from day one.
You can choose which days you want to attend O Week. You’re welcome to come along each day to explore campus and meet people, but the activities you take part in are completely up to you. Monday is usually the busiest day, so if you prefer a more relaxed experience, consider coming later in the week.
How2RMIT is an online onboarding module that gives you a complete overview of RMIT’s systems, support services, facilities, and more. It’s a one-stop source of all the information you’ll need to set yourself up for study and life at RMIT.
The module is conveniently located on your Canvas dashboard and can be completed in your own time. You’ll also be able to re-visit the information whenever you need it.
Most sessions are delivered in person, however some program inductions are available in online or hybrid delivery format.
Check the program induction page for your session location / online link.
Orientation and induction communications are emailed to your RMIT email and personal email addresses. If you have not accessed your RMIT email yet, click here.
You can check the program induction page for your session information.
If your session is still missing, you may not have a scheduled program induction session. You can still attend all O Week activities and events.
O Week is designed for enrolled students. However, we recognise that some students may need or prefer to attend with a support person, and you are welcome to do so. If a friend or family member is acting as your support person, they are also welcome.
If you need advice or additional support, please contact Student Connect.
Orientation events are wheelchair accessible. All gender toilets are available on campus. Assistance animals are welcome. Free earplugs are available from the Welcome to RMIT space at City campus, Building 8, Level 4, Room 13 (Megaflex 3). You can request an accessibly campus tour by emailing kirrip@rmit.edu.au.
Please ensure you add activities to your Orientation registration so we can capture your requirements.
