Once you have accepted your offer, a username and password will be sent to you by SMS or email. Use these login details and instructions in the email to log in to your Avondale student account, change your password, activate multi-factor authentication and set up email. Once activated (may take 24 hours), you will see an email with information about essential IT systems and how to log in to each. These include:

 • Student Connect (Where your fees, enrol in units, and receive your grades)
 • Student Email, Microsoft Office 365, OneDrive, and Microsoft Authenticator - instructions →
 • Moodle (Your online learning portal)

We have a range of instructional videos to help navigate the library web page and services and Moodle. 

The Australian Government requires that all students in tertiary education obtain a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Click here for instructions on how to obtain your USI.

If you are an off-shore international student (residing overseas while undertaking their program of study at Avondale), you must obtain a USI 'override code' by emailing Avondale's Connect Support team at [email protected]. The email must include your Avondale student ID number and full name.

Your first step is to enrol into your core units. Go to your course page to find your course grid. You’ll find the grid under ‘Course structure’. If applicable, your course convenor will then be in touch with you to discuss specialisations, majors and minors.

Your Student ID card displays your photo along with your Avondale student ID number and is proof of your enrolment at Avondale. You can collect your card from Reception on either the Lake Macquarie or Sydney campus. You can also request your card to be delivered by post.

Some courses have special requirements for clinical placements, professional experience, and cross-institutional study. It will help if you begin your preparations now for meeting these requirements. Refer to the course information page for specific information.

How you pay your fees will vary depending on what course you are studying. Payment methods vary depending whether you receive a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), get a FEE-HELP loan, or are an international student. Visit the Fees page for information on fees. Remember, scholarships may be available for financial assistance with your studies.

Welcome Week is for new and returning students. It is designed to help you make a smooth and successful transition into study at Avondale University. You will be introduced to lecturers and support staff who will journey with you through your tertiary studies. You will get an opportunity to get familiar with the campus and meet other students.
