With Semester in Australia’s Virtual Resident Director Service, anyone can have their very own Resident Director who helps with their transition to living and studying in Australia!
Traditionally, a Resident Director is someone who is on-site, paid by an expensive Program Provider to meet students in person and lead them as a group throughout the semester. With the Virtual Resident Director Service, anyone can have their very own Resident Director in Australia for the fraction of the cost!
The one-off semester subscription service gives students direct access to the Semester in Australia team’s expertise, providing personal assistance via email or phone throughout the entire program, from the application and admission process, right through to studying and returning home again.
We are here to help you when you need us, not to smother you! The service includes:
- informative emails regarding pivotal stages of the pre-departure and admissions process (for example, detailed information on choosing courses, final registration/enrollment with your Australian university, applying for the Student Visa, etc)
- informative emails regarding pivotal stages of studying at your university (for example, last day to add/drop classes, exam timetabling, support services etc)
- email updates on things to do/see on-campus and in and around your new city, such as day trips and vacation ideas from locals
- direct access to a member of the Semester in Australia team, with questions being answered via email within 24 hours
- an Arrival Package full of information to get you settled in with the minimum of fuss. Included in the package is information on what you need to do to get started at your new university, information about your new city, a public transport bus pass with public transport timetable information and a phone card making it easier to call home.
