U18 International Student Supervision Program

How to register

Before you register for the supervision program, you must have a conditional or unconditional offer to study at UQ.

When you receive your offer, complete the online registration form and upload the following supporting documents:

• a completed and signed declaration form (PDF, 575.78 KB)
• a copy of your passport photo and information page
• a copy of your parent's or legal guardian's identification
• documentation from your doctor outlining any relevant medical conditions and additional support you require.

If you received a package offer through the Institute of Continuing & TESOL Education or the IES Foundation, you will also need to upload a copy of your lease agreement with your UQ approved accommodation provider.

Program fees

The supervision program fees include:

• a non-refundable $110 registration fee, and
• $6.60 per night for every night you must be enrolled.

After you register, you will receive a confirmation email with your total program fee and payment details. Your preferred accommodation provider will also contact you to finalise your accommodation arrangements.

When you complete the registration process, you should accept your offer to study at UQ. You will then receive a Confirmation of Enrolment and Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare. Use these documents to apply for your visa.

Living close to campus

If you are under 18, you must maintain suitable accommodation as part of your visa requirements. We will help you make appropriate arrangements with UQ-approved accommodation providers.

Travel or overnight stays

While enrolled in the supervision program, you must submit an activity permission request (UQ login required) if you plan to:

• travel
• be late for the 10pm curfew
• stay overnight anywhere other than your approved accommodation.

Your request must be submitted at least one week prior to your intended activity. Any travel or overnight stays must also be approved by your parent or legal guardian and your Welfare Adviser.

Adjusting to university life

The supervision program incorporates a range of services and requirements aimed at helping you feel safe, settled and supported through your first weeks and beyond.

You will participate in sessions and workshops to prepare you for your studies. These include:

• academic preparation sessions
• study and life skills workshops
• one-on-ones with your Welfare Adviser and peer mentors
• Orientation Week induction sessions.

These sessions also provide an opportunity to ask questions and meet new people.

Safety and security

You will receive an after-hours emergency support number and meet regularly with your Welfare Adviser. You will also be expected to follow a few welfare rules:

• Act responsibly and avoid risk-taking behaviour.
• Inform your Welfare Adviser if you need additional academic support.
• Attend regular individual and group academic sessions.
• Advise us by email if any contact details change for you, your parents or legal guardian.

Arriving for semester

You should plan to arrive on or after your confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare start date. Keep in mind that you must also attend compulsory Orientation Week sessions.

If you received a package offer that includes an English language program at the Institute of Continuing & TESOL Education, you should arrive no earlier than 9 days before the start of your first class.

Once you have booked your flights, please email a copy of your itinerary to supervision@uq.edu.au.

You are required to arrange an airport pick-up for your arrival in Brisbane. A University representative will meet you at the Brisbane Domestic or International Airport to take you to your approved accommodation.
