Orientation

Welcome New Students

Orientation Day or Week (O-Week) is for all new students. Whether you’re staying in on-campus accommodation or not – everyone is invited to join the fun!

For O-Week, most of the activities are based at our Northern Beaches Campus, but there is usually a special day planned for our ISCA and Aspire English students at the City Campus.

If you’re starting your studies in the February, May or August intake, you don’t want to miss the Cocktail Party at our Northern Beaches Campus. It’s a highlight every year!

Upcoming orientations

May intake: Wednesday 14 May to Friday 16 May 2025

Can’t make it to Orientation?

If you miss your Orientation Day or Week, don’t worry! You can catch up on all the essential information and important links by completing the ICMS Moodle Orientation Course. To access Moodle, which is our Student Learning Management System (LMS), you’ll need your login details. These will be emailed to you.

Moodle is an online platform where you can find everything you need for your courses – from study materials to assignment submissions. It also helps you track your progress and stay connected with your lecturers and classmates.

If you haven’t received your Moodle login details and you’re starting classes soon, please reach out to Student Services for assistance.
