Welcome from Angliss CEO Nicholas Hunt
Getting Started
Your timetable
Your department will email you a copy of your timetable in the week leading up to the commencement of your course. You'll only receive your timetable once you have enrolled in your subjects. Contact your department if you have any questions.
The Institute is open from Monday to Saturday. Student timetables vary each term depending upon the units taken. Timetables are scheduled between 8 am and 10 pm.
Most full-time timetables will require you to attend classes or training sessions for at least four days per week. You can expect a minimum of 20 contact hours, including assessment periods with our teaching staff per week each semester.
Set up your tech
Before you start your classes you'll need to get your head around the tech! Make sure you've set up your password, know how to access your student portal and your subjects (via Moodle), and how to check your myAngliss email.
To do all this, you'll need to make sure you're already enrolled in your classes and have paid your fees.
Your rights and responsibilities
While you study with us, you are expected to adhere to William Angliss Institute's student codes of conduct, which explain your obligations and responsibilities. The codes are aimed at enhancing your learning experience (including online learning) and also ensuring your rights are protected through fair and equitable policies and procedures.
Academic Integrity
In particular, you are expected to uphold the principles of student academic integrity and must understand your responsibility when submitting work for assessment. The way your present ideas and information in assessments must be totally your own.
Where a student is found to have cheated, colluded, or plagiarised during assessment, the student will be failed. You must pay to re-enrol and complete the unit. If a second incident of cheating or plagiarising is proven then the student concerned will face expulsion from the course.
All reported cases of plagiarism are investigated in line with the Academic Integrity Policy.

Keeping you safe on campus
Studying on campus
William Angliss Institute continues to carefully monitor the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety of our community as we deliver training both online and on-campus as directed by the Victorian Government.
There is a single point of entry to campus located at 555 La Trobe Street, Ground Floor Building A entrance.
On entry to campus, you will be required:
- Check-in via the Service Victoria app
- Show your confirmed check-in to our friendly security staff
- If you leave campus you will be requested to check-in again if you return to ensure everyone is registered
- Have a temperature check on arrival
The advice remains the same: if you are unwell or developing cold or flu symptoms, you are urged to stay home as per recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Emergency Evacuation Procedure
In the event of an emergency evacuation, the Institute has two alarms.
The first alarm is an alert alarm (beep, beep, beep) - prepare to evacuate and be on alert for an evacuation announcement. Evacuation alarm (whoop, whoop, whoop) – you must evacuate (get out of the building) and make your way to the assembly area. You will be directed by the Fire Wardens wearing the yellow fluoro vest to where the assembly area is located.
The Institute’s Assembly Area is Flagstaff Gardens. Do not use lifts when evacuating. Do not re-enter the building until instructed to do so. Information about emergency evacuation is available on Evacuation Diagrams and Standard Fire Orders which are posted in prominent locations throughout the Institute.
If you have difficulty using stairs or require assistance to evacuate a building during an emergency evacuation, please consult with our Disability Support Services to prepare a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP).
