Orientation Program

All PBC and ACCS students commencing their studies, including overseas students, are expected to participate in the Orientation Program arranged for their benefit. Through it you will be offered useful information about academic matters, about how we will support your studies, and how we will strive to make your overall experience while you are with us safe and enjoyable. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

Orientation is a program of activities that introduces you to your place of study and the services available to help you find your way around and pursue your studies knowing that you will be supported in your learning and other needs as they may arise. The orientation program is one of these services.

A list of student services is set out below with an indication of where to find the relevant information on this website or via PBC Online, as relevant. The main part of this list of services is available for all students enrolled in awards of Perth Bible College, and the Australian College of Christian Studies to assist you to reach your academic goals and keep you safe and well along the way. For overseas students, additional assistance is available to help you settle into Australia and your local neighbourhood.

For all students, the College Administrator can be contacted for any matter of concern at any time.

Contact details: Kari Minetto, [email protected]

In addition, for overseas students, the Dean of Students can be contacted for any matter of concern at any time.
