How long can parents stay on move-in day?
Parents are invited to stay until the end of the family move-in dinner, which normally wraps up around 7pm. From there residents will make their way up to floors with their residential advisors.
Can someone help me move my belongings in?
Yes. Residential Advisors and other leaders will be available during arrival times to help with directions, trolleys, and support.
What if I arrive late or outside business hours?
Move-in day is a very important part of the Burgmann New Residents schedule. If you anticipate arriving late or after hours, please notify the College office in advance so arrangements can be made for key access and check-in support.
When do the activities start?
Orientation (N-Week / O-Week) activities begin shortly after move-in. Your full program schedule will be shared prior to arrival and will include welcome events, floor meetings, safety briefings, and social activities to help you settle in.
Who can I ask for help once I’ve moved in?
Your Residential Advisors (RAs), the College Office, and senior residential staff are available to support you with any questions, concerns, or wellbeing needs.
I think I need to arrive a day or two late! What should I do?
While we ask every single resident to attend Burgmann College from the 7th of Feb so they don't miss any learning or bonding opportunities, we understand that there are extenuating circumstances that mean you may miss a portion of the new residents program. If you need to miss part of the move in day and new residents program, please just contact us to keep us in the loop
