HDR Orientation

Congratulations on commencing your studies at Flinders University.

Here, we consider formal induction to be an invaluable introduction to life as a HDR student.

HDR Induction - your next step!

Welcome to your HDR candidature at Flinders University. Now that you've completed your enrolment, it's time to begin your formal induction.

To help you get started and meet the University’s HDR Policy and Progression requirements, you’ll need to complete two components:

HDR Online Induction (via FLO)
HDR Induction Seminar (face-to-face or online).

Flinders University is committed to providing the highest quality education, guided by legislation and good practice principles.

The online induction is a self-paced module on FLO that takes around three hours to complete within your first 2 months of enrolment.

It covers essential information, resources, and training to help you understand your responsibilities and make the most of your candidature. You’ll also find a link to register for the upcoming HDR Induction Seminar (available each semester).
