The College provides the Student Orientation and Pre-Arrival Information documents to assist students with planning their journey to the campus of choice in Queensland. Students who arrive from overseas will be scheduled for an appointment with the Principal or the nearest qualified person of the International College of Queensland to go through a familiarisation process of the rules, regulations and premises of the International College of Queensland prior to the commencement of the Course.
