COVID-19 (coronavirus): Latest advice for the Bond community.

Bringing Orientation to you

Welcome to Bond

You may not be on campus yet, but you are now officially part of the Bond community. We can’t wait to bring Orientation to you – wherever you are in the world. 

Orientation is a series of events and activities to introduce you to Bond, your academics, classmates and key support staff. On this page, you will find lots of resources to help you settle in and start the semester strong, as well as a schedule of events for Orientation Week. You are also invited to join the 221 Bondies Facebook group, so you can start to connect with your fellow classmates before the semester begins.

Whether you are studying on campus or remotely, you must upload your photo to the CaptureME portal. Your photo will be used for identification purposes on Bond's Student Learning Management System (iLearn), and for your student ID card. If you are studying remotely, you can collect your ID card when you are able to arrive on campus. You will not need it beforehand.

If you are living on campus, attending on-campus classes and/or require access to on-campus facilities (e.g. library, Multimedia Learning Centre, Sports Centre), you will require a student ID card.  Once your photo has been approved through CaptureME, you can collect your Student ID card from Student Assist in the main library (BLD01_2_53) on Monday - Friday between 8.30am and 5pm AEST during Orientation Week.

COVID-19 message: 

Students are at the heart of everything we do here at Bond, and the safety of our students and staff is a priority. While our campus remains open, some changes have been made to Orientation events, including moving the Official Welcome to online-only, and the cancellation of a small number of in-person social events. More Orientation events may move to an online-only mode of delivery in the coming days, so we encourage you to regularly check this page to view the most up-to-date schedule. 

Masks are currently mandatory in Queensland so if you are attending in person, please make sure you wear one as required. You will also need to provide proof of full vaccination for certain activities and venues on campus (see schedule below for more information). 

If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and join us online instead. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Bond in Orientation week.

Once you have completed enrolment you can upload a photo for your student ID card via the CaptureME portal and then collect your ID during Orientation.

If you need any help finding your way around, see our tips below or visit the friendly staff and Student Ambassadors at our Orientation Information Hub, located near the Main Library. 

If you aren't able to travel to campus, don't worry! You will be able to join most sessions remotely and many will be recorded for playback via iLearn at a time that suits you.

Essential information

Welcome to Bond! Starting at a new university presents lots of unique challenges, from how to get from A to B, to getting in the swing of study and campus life. We want to help - here's everything you need to know. 

Learn more about...

At Bond, we refer to each semester with a three-digit number. This semester is 221. To work out the semester number, take the last two digits of the year (e.g. 2022 - '22') and the number of the semester (we're in semester 1, so use '1'). The following semester will be 222, and the last semester of this year will be 223. Your first lesson as a Bondy, sorted!

There is no day-to-day uniform necessary for university - you're welcome to dress in what makes you feel comfortable, confident and ready to take on your studies! We find most of our students wear neat, comfortable attire, noting that for some programs, there may be instructions to wear more specific items of clothing. For example, students might be asked to wear enclosed shoes and lab coats when learning in laboratories or formal wear including a suit jacket when practising in the moot courts for law. 

We also have many students who love to wear the Bond University brand out and about. Drop into the Merchandise Store on campus to see our range of t-shirts, hoodies, gym bags, watches, cufflinks and other branded items. 

 

A helping hand

At Bond, one thing drives everything we do: you - our students! We’re here to lend a hand with anything you need, from Indigenous, international, disability and LGBTIQ support through to academic services and career development assistance.
