Future Students

First year for UWay students


As a first year UWay student you will be provided with an extended orientation program before first semester begins, as well as additional support services throughout your first year.

 It is a condition of your acceptance of a UWay place that you:

  • Attend the on-campus component of the UniSkills Flying Start Orientation Program and attend your Faculty's Host Day.
  • Meet the UniSkills Coordinator before the sixth week of first semester, and again before the sixth week of second semester to discuss your academic progress.
  • Make an appointment to see a designated Faculty Adviser before the end of the third week of first semester.
  • Attend UniSkills study groups during second semester if academic progress in first semester is unsatisfactory.
  • Sign up for a student mentor through the Uni Mentor Scheme before the start of first semester.

Further details will be sent to students in January.

If you qualify for admission to UWA on the basis of your TER and do not need special admission through UWay then we will still offer you, as a person who was nominated for UWay, the extra support services that are available to UWay students through the Uni Mentor and UniSkill programs, if you feel that this would be helpful. You are strongly encouraged to make an appointment to see the UniSkills Coordinator before the end of the third week of semester to find out what services are available.
