6. Get ready for Welcome Week

Your orientation activities are your first step toward success at Western. There are two essential activities to attend during Welcome Week:

  • The main event at Parramatta South where you can explore all aspects of university life all in one place – from our large range of support services to linking up with social connections
  • Your School Welcome Session – you may be invited along to a Welcome Session by your School – it’s a  great opportunity to meet your teachers and classmates before classes start. If you School is hosting a session, you’ll receive more details via email.

Visit the Welcome Week webpage for more info, including dates!

Download the Western App to help you get to campus and use your session as a way to practise how to get to and navigate your campus – you may need to look into a parking permit if you plan to drive to uni or check out our handy shuttle buses for getting around campus and to local public transport stops.

Your welcome session will outline a room location to head to. Each location includes the campus, building, floor and room number. For example, PS-EA.LG.27 decodes to mean Parramatta South campus in Building EA, on the Lower Ground Floor, in room 27.

There are plenty of activities you can get involved in at Welcome Week before classes start, which will help you get set to reach your ambition at Western.
