O-Week 2024 : A warm welcome to JCU

We were thrilled to recently welcome our newest cohort of international students to the Townsville and Cairns campuses for Semester 1 and Trimester 1, 2024!

Our new students participated in an immersive Orientation Week, where they learned about the vibrant life at JCU, explored our tropical North Queensland locations, and connected with fellow students from around the world.

We extend our warmest wishes to our new students as they embark on their academic journeys with us. We're excited to support them as they pursue their goals and create lifelong memories at JCU.

Visa processing delays - Act swiftly

Due to the recent student visa processing delays, we strongly encourage all students to accept their offers early. We kindly ask that you advise any students with full GTE offer conditions to coordinate the GTE assessment processes immediately upon receiving an offer letter.Please note that offer lapse dates cannot be extended. Taking early action will ensure that students have enough time to secure a visa and arrive on schedule to start their studies.
