Abstract:

This chapter examines the design, implementation and impact of innovative pre-arrival platforms for students transitioning to university, within an Australian context. The platforms feature a collaborative university-wide programme aimed at onboarding international students; a faculty-driven students-staff co-design approach for commencing international students; and a subject level approach specifically tailored for transition success, particularly for students from equity backgrounds. These pre-arrival initiatives showcase innovative strategies to foster student identity, capacity, confidence, overall well-being and integration into the university landscape. By analysing each practice, the chapter identifies opportunities for novel and effective approaches across the academic-student support interface. To ensure more cohesive and continuous seamless student transition with pre-arrival platforms, the study emphasises the importance of sustainable partnerships and collaborations in creating a connective ecosystem within universities to drive innovative practices.
