Key information for BULA students studying a language at The University of Queensland
Importance of UQ email
All information sent by the University will be sent to your UQ student email address. If you don’t check it, you will not receive your exam timetable, hear about assessment changes, or receive the warning to submit your Tax File Number before your enrolment is cancelled! In other words, it is vital that you check it regularly. It is easy to redirect your UQ student email so that you don’t miss any important emails.
