You will be arriving in Adelaide for your CISabroad orientation which marks the official start of your semester abroad!
When you arrive to Australia, you first will need to clear customs and get your bags. For some of you this may be in Sydney or Melbourne. You will need to clear customs at the first point of entry into Australia. It is a good idea to become familiar with the customs and quarantine laws of Australia prior to packing by heading the Australia.gov.au website and searching Customs and Quarantine.
Airport pickup is included in the CISabroad program fee, but we cannot guarantee airport pickup for anyone that arrives outside of the designated arrival times. To help us make sure we meet you at the airport, please fill out the Travel Information form in your portal if you have not done so already.

Missed/Cancelled/Delayed Flight:
If you have missed your flight or a connection, do not panic. First go to the ticket counter for the airline that issued your ticket to make next available flight arrangements; then call CISabroad’s 24/7 emergency phone to arrange for your change in travel.
Lost Luggage:
If the airline has misplaced your luggage you must first file a lost baggage report with the airline before exiting customs. Be sure to get the contact number and web address for monitoring your bag’s progress. Once you have done this inform your site director.
Tips for dealing with lost luggage:

o You’ll have to give identifying inform about yourself, luggage (color size, make), as well as your

Ask if there are any reimbursement rights.
