The important stuff
Set yourself up so you’re ready for the semester ahead.
Your compulsory online learning modules
All commencing students are automatically enrolled in the following compulsory units at the start of semester as part of your academic orientation. These are not-for-credit units and do not count towards your semester study load; however, they must be completed within your first semester to record a pass (and avoid a fail) on your academic record.
There’s much more to uni than just study…
Now that you’ve set yourself up with Pheme and your Campus Card, it’s time to explore everything else UWA has to offer.
Student offices
