What is Orientation Week?

Orientation is the official start of the university year, so it's important that you come along. It's designed to help you settle into university and provide you with information to fully prepare you for the start of classes.

Orientation is an opportunity to:

• make new friends and explore the campus
• take part in activities and events
• find out about different teaching and learning processes at university
• learn your courses and get to know your lecturers
