What is a virtual open day?

A Charles Sturt virtual open day brings all the experiences you associate with an on-campus event into your home. At a Charles Sturt on-campus open day you’d attend presentations about undergraduate and online courses you’re interested in. You’d take a tour of the facilities to see where you’d put your learning into practice. View the accommodation options if you were keen on living on campus. Discover the social side of Charles Sturt and all the support that you can tap into (like scholarships). Well, that’s all available virtually! You can drop-in on info sessions, take video tours of campuses and their facilities, and chat online to uni reps who can answer all your questions. Think of it as an online open day, with the only real difference between a virtual open day and an on-campus one being that you can turn up to a virtual open day in your PJ’s!

Top tips for getting the most out of your event

When it comes to getting all you need to make your next step, Open Day is where it’s at. Here are a few ideas to ensure you get the maximum benefit from yours.

Check out the program before the big day. That way you can plan which sessions you’d like to tap into ‒ and secure your spot for them ‒ so you don’t miss a thing.
Your Open Day kicks off at 10am. That’s when you can wander around the displays and community stalls, get involved in the activities, or tuck into some food. If you’ve signed on for an info session or tour that starts at 10am, it’s a good idea to arrive at 9.45am.
Attend more than one Open Day – we have different courses and different facilities on each campus.
Bring your questions along. We’ll have academics, support staff and current students all on hand to get you all the information you need to take your next step with confidence.
Keep an eye out for giveaways and competitions on the day.
If you want to tour one of our laboratories, you’ll need to wear closed-in shoes. Them’s the rules!
And if you can’t make any of the Open Days you want to, don’t stress. We’d still love to welcome you on campus! All you need to do is book a campus tour for any day of the working week!

Sounds good! Where do I sign up?

Simple. Visit the Open Day 2024 page. Select the campus you’d like to visit, then book your spot.

Here’s the important bit. You will need to register for every session or tour you’d like to attend, as well as check in when you arrive. Each session and tour will have limited places available – so make sure you register online to secure your spot. Oh, and if you’re coming with friends or family, they’ll need to book in to sessions separately.

We can’t wait to meet you!
