Orientation

Don’t miss out on the CELUSA/SAIBT Orientation! We offer a one day comprehensive guide to help you effectively and efficiently transition into your SAIBT studies.

For many students this is not only a new study environment, but a new country and way of life. Our staff are committed to helping ensure your success at CELUSA/SAIBT and in Australia.

Did You Know?

• Many current CELUSA/SAIBT students volunteer to help welcome new students at each orientation! They help assist students with their transition to Adelaide.
• Orientation is a fun day of activities. You get the opportunity to make new friends before beginning your academic studies and CELUSA.
• We have an Orientation Go App! This handy app helps you to prepare for your studies at SAIBT with helpful checklists about visas, travel, accommodation, facilities on campus and much more. Click here or on the banner below to download the app today! (available for iPhones only at this stage)

What Happens if I Arrive Late?

All students must attend orientation. Students who arrive late will be required to attend a late orientation session – you will not be permitted to enrol without completing orientation.

If for any reason (including late issue of a visa) you are unable to arrive in Adelaide before the end of the first week of semester, you must immediately request that your offer of a place be deferred to the following semester. Any fees that have been paid will be transferred and no financial penalties will apply.
