There are a few things you should be aware of when preparing for Week 1, including enrolment, orientation, getting to campus, your classes and safety on campus.
Enrolment and Timetable
It’s important that you enrol in your units (subjects) before the start of the session, and we recommend that you enrol prior to orientation. Enrolling early is beneficial and helps you choose a class timetable that meets your schedule. You will also receive your timetable, and we recommend exploring your classrooms on orientation day to avoid any confusion on your first day.
Orientation
Orientation is compulsory to attend, and it’s chance for you to meet your classmates, your teachers, and staff. It is a fun way to start your journey at SIBT.
You’ll get to participate in fun activities such as paint and sip, trivia, and campus tours, plus enjoy free coffee and food. Our enrolment team will also be available to assist you in confirming your unit enrolment. If you have any doubts, visit the enrolment labs for guidance.
Getting to campus
Our campus is located at 255, Elizabeth Street Sydney, with classes held on Levels 2, 3, and 4. Reception is on Level 4, the IT help desk (iHelp) is on Level 2, and the library is on Level 8.
The Campus is easily accessible from Town Hall, Museum, St James and Gadigal stations, buses, light rail and a quick 15-minute walk from the ferry! Check the Transport NSW website and plan your trip to get to class on time.
Classes
Be prepared for your classes by bringing a notebook and pen, or a laptop/tablet for note-taking from Week 1.
Our campus also has free Wi-Fi facilities so that you can make the most out of your education. You can set-up your Wi-Fi access during orientation. It is important that you are on time for your classes as you do not want to miss any important information early on!
When you are attending orientation, familiarise yourself with the signage around the campus. This will help you to navigate around the campus quickly.
Safety
Your safety is our priority. We have security on the Ground Floor, and there are safety signs around campus for your protection. Please follow all safety guidelines to ensure a secure environment for students, teachers, and staff.
Week 1 Activities
During week one, our Student Services team have many events organised for new students. Ensure you participate in these events. You can attend even if you don’t have classes on that day. This will help you meet people and make new friends.
Need help?
If you are in doubt or unsure of where to go, take it easy! We are here to help you. Our friendly staff will help you navigate around the campus.
We look forward to welcoming you to SIBT!
