Faculty and Course
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
It is essential for all students to attend these sessions as they will provide you with information
regarding your degree and enrolment and support services available to you. You will also get an
opportunity to meet staff and students in your study area. If you are a distance student, we strongly
recommend attending, but understand that this may not be possible. Please access the Online
Orientation materials if you are unable to attend in-person.
WHY DO SOME OF THESE SESSIONS LOOK DIFFERENT?
Some faculties offer a general orientation session that all students are expected to attend. After the
general faculty orientation session students may be separated into their disciplines or majors. Other
faculties hold orientation events specifically for your course. Please check the details of each of the
sessions on pages 9 - 23 to ensure you attend all that are relevant to your studies. Combined degree
students should attend both of their faculty sessions. If you are unable to attend both sessions due
to timetable clashes you may be able to access a session recording online. Please contact your
faculty to check if this applies to you.
Please arrive at your faculty or course session 15 minutes prior to the advertised start time to be
seated and to receive any printed materials. If in doubt about which sessions you should attend
or if you have any questions about your course please contact your faculty directly.

Pre-semester Steps
HOW DO I BEST PREPARE?
Now that you’ve read through the guide, you might be wondering what else
you can start preparing before you attend Orientation - excellent you’re
thinking ahead! There are some really important things to check off your
list while you are waiting for Orientation to come around and it’s never too
early to start doing some of these jobs.
We’ve put together a list of all those important pre-semester steps we think
you should take to make sure you get off to a flying start!
UP SKILL TO START YOUR COURSE
Check out the various enabling and foundation studies programs/units if you don’t quite meet the entry requirements or you need
to get a solid foundation in your area of studies before you commence. Go to http://www.utas.edu.au/first-year/enabling-programs
ATTEND A READY FOR UNI SESSION
Register for and attend a Ready for Uni session, for assistance enrolling and info on the administrative stuff you need to know
to get started. Go to www.utas.edu.au/enrol/readyforuni/ If you can’t make it to a Ready for Uni session contact your Faculty for
enrolment advice. Go to www.utas.edu.au/first-year/enrolment-advice for contact info.
ACCESS YOUR UTAS WEBMAIL
Log in to your UTAS webmail account (accessible through the UTAS home page) using the username and password given when
you accepted your offer. Start regularly checking your webmail and communicating with your UTAS email address. To personalise
your password go to www.utas.edu.au/service-desk/
LOGIN TO THE eSTUDENT
Log in to your eStudent (accessible through the UTAS current students web page) using your username and password to:
• Update your contact details- the university requires your Tasmanian address and an Australian contact phone no.
• Look up your class timetable- select ‘lectures only’ for the first print then select ‘all classes’ for each of your units for your 2nd
print. This will show all the various workshop/tutorial and practical options.
LOGIN TO MYLO
Log in to MyLO (accessible through the UTAS Currents Students web page) using your username and password and familiarise
yourself with the content of your units and other online resources and services listed in your MyLO. Please note that some units
will not have a MyLO presence until the start of the semester and you must be enrolled in a unit to be able to access any unit
related MyLO resources.

relevant to you and your transition to Uni. Please visit: www.utas.edu.au/orientation/

You’re nearly there! Once you’ve attended Orientation and collected your ID card, you can also do the following:
Put some money on your CAPS account for printing on campus. Insert your student ID card in to one of the CAPS machines
located near photocopiers, create a PIN number and insert money to credit your account. You can also collect an after-hours swipe
card to access computer labs. Cards can be purchased from the Contact Centre in the TUU building.
TOUCH BASE
If you have any questions about the above list please be sure to touch base with your Student Adviser at:
www.utas.edu.au/first-year. After you’ve looked at this information, make sure you jump over to our Facebook page and like us!
Make contact early with any of the support services you might need to help make your transition and your time at UTAS run more
smoothly (Counselling, Careers, Disability Services, Student Advisers). Go to www.utas.edu.au/students

Key Contacts
Where do I get help during Orientation Week?
Getting to know your way around campus and knowing who to
talk to about all the different things at Uni can be hard work.
The good thing about starting at UTAS is that there are a lot of
people here to support you and answer all your questions, so
please don’t be afraid to ask us anything and everything.
Please find a list below of your key contacts during Orientation

FAQs
DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO TO ORIENTATION?
Orientation is considered to be the start of your university career, so it is
really important that you plan ahead so that you can attend.
There are some components of orientation that are compulsory for all
students. Attendance at your faculty or course orientation is compulsory
for all students studying on-campus. Please note that all international
students must attend the International sessions, as well as their faculty
or course session.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
Some sessions will include free food and drinks, but not all - this is clearly stated in the guide. Bring your own lunch or purchase
your lunch from one of the food outlets on campus or nearby. We also suggest you bring a sun hat, bottle of water, notepad and
pen.
WHO DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ENROLMENT?
Your faculty is your first point of contact if you have questions about your enrolment. Please refer to page 8 of this guide for all the
relevant contact details.
WHAT IS SSAF?
The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is a compulsory services and amenities fee charged to students. The legislation
and guidelines behind the fee provides a list of non-academic and non-political services on which universities are permitted to
spend the funds. The fee will provide improved services and amenities for all students of the University through increased revenue.
In practice, this will mean an increase in the quality and quantity of the services available to you at UTAS. Orientation is one of
the many programs funded under the SSAF. Please refer to the SSAF website for further information about how to pay your SSAF
and more comprehensive information about how SSAF funding is distributed:
www.utas.edu.au/students/student-services-and-amenities-fee-ssaf
WHERE CAN I PURCHASE FOOD DURING ORIENTATION?
There are a couple of options for purchasing food on-campus. You can visit Lazenby’s cafe in the Central Mall area or visit the
Refectory in the Tasmania University building. The ‘Ref’ offers the most reasonably priced meals for students to purchase and is
also close to the bank, ATM, Co-op bookshop and the newsagent.
HOW DO I GET TO CAMPUS?
UTAS encourages all staff and students to choose sustainable transport options to access UTAS facilities. There are many
options, including public transport, car-pooling, cycling or walking. Please refer to the Commercial Services and Development
website for further information: www.utas.edu.au/commercial-services-development/ If parking on campus, you must park in the
designated pay-and-display voucher areas. Fines apply in other areas. Please refer to the campus maps for more details about
where parking areas are located at: www.utas.edu.au/campus-services/parking
HOW DO I GET A STUDENT ID CARD?
During Orientation Week you can get your ID card issued from the Morris Miller Library. Please bring some photo identification
and your student identification number (as shown on your letter of offer) when you come to get your card.
