Open Day 2017

It’s our Open Day, but it’s not about us. It’s about you.

Our smaller campuses allow you to customise your experience — what you want to see, questions you want answered, people you want to talk to. You won’t get lost in the crowd at our Open Days — you’ll get real one-on-one time with academics, students and staff.

Deciding what and where to study is a pretty momentous decision. That’s why we run Open Day — it’s everything you need, in one place, to help make your decision.

Our biggest piece of advice — don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’ll have academics, course experts, support staff and admissions experts on-hand ready to help. So you can ask about courses, applying, pathways, scholarships, studying overseas, accommodation, financial support… really anything you’ve ever wanted to know about uni. It’s also a good opportunity to do a campus tour, and meet real students and lecturers.

That’s up to you. You can come along whenever you like between the Open Day start and finish times, but it’s a good idea to plan your day in advance. There are a lot of different sessions, and some of them are a one-off. Planning ahead is the best way to make sure you don’t miss your top picks.

Nope. Registering is not essential, although there are benefits for doing so. For example, you’ll get access to exclusive Open Day updates and competitions. There’s also no need to register for any of the events on the day, but spaces may be limited, so we suggest you arrive on time.

Of course you can. Bring your friends and family along — everyone is welcome to all sessions and activities.

Yes. Whether you’ve taken a one year study break or you finished school years ago — Open Day is perfect for anyone considering study.

If you can’t make a certain session or activity, check to see if it’s running again later in the day. If not, don’t stress — you can still chat one-on-one with our experts in the Info Expo.

ACU staff and students are all wearing red and purple ACU uniforms.

You sure can. It’s never too early to start thinking about your future, and you’re welcome to come along with your friends and family to chat about your goals and get advice to plan ahead for your final years of school.

If you’ve got a question, our AskACU team has you covered. You can search FAQs, text us, email, live chat, call — whatever works for you.

You can also book a personal campus tour to visit us on campus and discuss your options face-to-face.
