| Arrival: What to do |
Arrival in Sydney: free airport pick-up service
If you are staying in Study Abroad off-campus housing or in UNSW on-campus housing, you will be able to request to be picked up at the airport. You will be collected in the Arrivals Hall by a UNSW Study Abroad representative who will take you and your luggage to your accommodation. The airport pick-up request form is included in the pre-departure package that you received after you accepted your offer.
Sydney International Airport
If you have requested an airport pick-up, a Study Abroad representative will meet you at the meeting point in the International Airport Arrival Hall.
After you clear Customs and collect your luggage at the airport, you will exit to the Arrivals Hall via gates A - D. If you exit via Gates A or B, you will need to turn left to find the meeting point. If you exit via Gates C or D, you will need to turn right to find the meeting point. Look for the UNSW sign held up by the representatives.

When you arrive in Sydney, you will need to visit the Study Abroad Office at Level 16, Mathews Building to confirm your enrolment and complete your paperwork.
