Welcome to St Francis College - Semester 2 Orientation Evening

Join us on Tuesday 21 July 2026 for the St Francis College Semester 2 Orientation Evening, a relaxed and welcoming event for both new and continuing students.

Whether you are beginning your studies for the first time or returning for another semester, the evening is designed to help you feel confident and connected as you prepare for Semester 2. Meet fellow students, lecturers, and staff, learn about the life and mission of St Francis College, and discover the resources and support available through both the College and the University of Divinity.

The program includes introductions to key staff and lecturers, campus and library tours, ARK platform orientation, library services, academic integrity requirements, student support services, and other important information to help you get started successfully. There will also be opportunities to ask questions and connect with the St Francis community.
