At Bond, we refer to each semester with a three-digit number. This semester is 222. 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 2, so use '2'). The following semester will be 223. Your first lesson as a Bondy, sorted!

It won’t take long for Bond to feel like home. But, so you can settle in sooner, we’ve got some handy tips and tricks to help you navigate your first week.

Reading room numbers

Bond’s rooms are labelled in the order of building number, then level, then room number. For example, 06_02_01 indicates Building 6, Level 2, Room 1.

Once you know the formula, you’ll never get lost again. Check out the online campus map to see all the building numbers and their locations. Download a printable map here. 

MazeMap – your virtual guide

Need directions? There’s an app for that! MazeMap is Bond’s virtual map, where you can find your way around Bond’s main campus and Institute of Health and Sport by simply searching for a location, then selecting ‘directions’. The app will use your current location to guide you to where you need to go.

Use MazeMap.

The Library has many, but not all, of the prescribed textbooks available as ebooks. Others are available as print books in the Reserve collections if you are able to get to campus. Check with your lecturer to determine whether it's necessary to have your own copy of the textbook.

To purchase a textbook, you can search for it in Library Search, then 'Check purchase options' to see availability and prices from a variety of retailers. See the Textbooks page on the Library orientation guide for more information, including an instructional video.

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.
