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)
