During the enrolment process, Western Sydney College staff or representative will engage with a prospective student in several to understand their individual needs and provide the necessary support to each student in order to maximise their chances of  completing the selected training program.

We engage with students in the following ways:

• Enrolment Application form:

The enrolment application form includes specific questions for the student in regards to their cultural and educational background, spoken English ability, skill in literacy and numeracy, any individual needs that may prevent their full participation in the training program.

• Enrolment interview:

This interview includes discussions relating to individual needs, Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN), rights and obligations, recognition opportunity, etc

• Orientation Program:

The orientation program is conducted for all new students arriving on campus at the beginning of the course. A briefing is conducted on Australian culture and course outline. Information is given to students regarding student visa conditions, accommodation, overseas heath cover, and use of information technology facilities within Campus. Students are also given a campus tour and are introduced to the academic and administrative staff.
Other individual needs can be considered on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the Principal/Chief Executive Officer.

This multipoint approach ensures that students entering a training program with Western Sydney College will have their individual needs identified which enables the allocation and arrangement for the applicable support services which may be supplied internally or by an external provider.
