Enhanced transition program

This program is held before commencement of the first trimester each year.

The Enhanced Transition Program (ETP) assists students in managing the impact of a disability, impairment, or long term medical condition on their study and to make the move to university easier. The program aims to orientate and familiarise students with their campus and the facilities offered.

After completion of the program students will be more familiar with the University and confident to undertake Week Zero (orientation week).

If you are feeling overwhelmed about the idea of university, this program will assist you with finding out how and where to get information, who to contact for help, and prepare you for university life and challenges.
