As a Bond University student, you will have a unique experience which will see you receive personalised attention from the classroom and through every aspect of life at Bond. It begins when you arrive on campus with Orientation Week. The first week on campus provides new students with a full calendar of information sessions and social activities where you can meet other new students. Once classes get underway, you may also find some of our other student support services helpful. 
When you commence university, it's an exciting time. It's normal to feel apprehensive about beginning your studies and having some nerves around starting, is expected. The commencement section aims to help ease the tension, by providing the information you require, no matter what your query.
In order to study at Bond, it's essential to follow the correct enrolment process. It's important to check on chosen subjects and fees prior to beginning. There are various processes to follow depending on whether you are a new, current or international student. Please ensure you read this section carefully before beginning.
At Bond University, we have an examinations and assessments procedure which all students must follow. A procedure has been developed to avoid confusion and ensure, when it comes to exam time, students are clear on what is expected. There are also certain rules around the reasons that Bond allow, for deferral of examinations and assessments.
Graduation is a special time for Bond University students. Upon the completion of your degree requirements, you will be issued an invitation to attend a graduation ceremony. There are usually three graduation ceremony periods each year, scheduled to follow each of the three study periods.
If you're swapping subjects, make sure you understand how withdrawing from your original subjects may affect your enrolment, grades and fees. You can add and swap subjects via your study plan in eStudent via MyBond on or before the census date for the semester or teaching period you're studying in.
Withdrawing from individual subjects can be done via eStudent up until the census date for the current semester (end of week 4). Please use the Subject Withdrawal Request form if applying after the census date. International student visa holders must discuss and seek approval for withdrawal from the International Student Team Coordinator prior to withdrawing. Please note however, that financial penalties will apply for withdrawal after week 2.
If you wish to suspend your studies completely you must apply to withdraw. If you wish to return at a later date then you may apply for leave of absence. You may apply for leave of absence for up to three semesters. This could depend on your program. As this process requires the withdrawal of subjects, you may incur a penalty depending when you withdraw and your circumstances.
To withdraw from study you must complete a Withdrawal from Program Form and submit it to the Student Assist.
