Semester 2, 2024 Orientation
Orientation in Semester 2 will take place from Monday 15 July to Friday 19 July.
Stay tuned for information on how to register for your faculty and university-wide Orientation events.
During Orientation
New students will be invited to join the Melbourne Peer Mentor Program (MPMP) which is a key part of your first semester at university. In your MPMP group you will build personal connections and get support from your Peer Mentor.
In addition to MPMP, there will be dedicated faculty events and you can enjoy university-wide events throughout the week.
Subject and Course Planning
Download the BCom Planner and visit the Course Planning page to help you plan your studies.
Do you need clarification on your course rules or are unsure about choosing subjects? Watch short videos presented by fellow students on Getting Started.
Once you have identified the subjects necessary for meeting your degree requirements and academic goals, you can enrol into subjects via your Study Plan. Enrolling in a subject means you are officially admitted to study that subject. You can find further information on enrolling here.
There's also a handy calendar to help you navigate through what you'll need to know in each week of your first semester.
