Arrival to the College

St Thomas More College (Tommy) is situated opposite UWA at 48 Mounts Bay Road, Crawley.

All new students known as “Freshers” can arrive at Tommy on the first day when Orientation Week commences and it will give you time to settle into your room. If you are an international student and would like to arrive a day or 2 before the commencement of O-Week because of your flights, please email admissions at admissions@stmc.uwa.edu.au to request early arrival.

For arrival at Tommy outside office hours (before 8.00am and after 4.00pm) and before your arrival date, the Resident Advisor (RA) on duty will need to be called on the black phone outside the Administration Building (just follow the prompts). They will collect your Key Card and take you to your room.

For international students attending UWA you can visit International students: The University of Western Australia for airport pick-up. Following the steps, please send them an email to apply for the airport pickup service and do this five days before you arrive. UWA will organise transport from the airport to Tommy. You will just need to confirm with them to ensure there is capacity.
