The JCU Orientation Program runs over a six-week period with activities commencing the week
before Orientation Week (O Week) and finishing in Week 4. This ‘longer and thinner’ approach
means you receive the right information at the right time during your transition into university
to avoid being overwhelmed at the start.

Orientation gives you the information, contacts and campus knowledge you need to
successfully start your studies. It is also a great opportunity to meet with fellow students
through a number of social activities.

              James Cook University is committed to fostering a community that
              features, at its core, respect, inclusion and safety for all.

              JCU is proud to be part of the Respect.Now.Always. campaign - a
              national initiative led by Universities Australia to prevent and address
              sexual harassment and sexual assault. Further information about JCU’s
              commitment to the elimination of sexual harassment and sexual assault,
              and services and support for students can be found at jcu.edu.au/sew.

              We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands
              and waters where we operate our business. We honour the unique cultural and spiritual relationship to the land,
              waters and seas of First Australian peoples and their continuing and rich contribution to JCU and Australian society.
              We also pay respect to ancestors and Elders past, present and future.
