Welcome to freshman orientation, 18 - 22 February 2008
What is Orientation?
Orientation marks the beginning of semester for new students. It’s
designed to help you settle into university and provide you with information
to fully prepare you for the start of classes. Take the opportunity to find
out about the different teaching and learning processes of the university,
familiarize yourself with your new surroundings, pick up details about your
course and get to know your lecturers and other new students. Orientation is
the official start of the university year, so it’s important that you come
along.
What’s on during Orientation?
Orientation consists of both academic and social activities. There are
also activities designed to introduce you to the various student support
services. Don’t miss the course briefing, library orientation, study skills
workshop, and opportunities to meet with lecturers and other staff members.
Also, make sure you sign up for a computer account, class tutorials and lab
sessions, and complete the Enrolment questionnaire online. Attendance at
these activities during Orientation will have a major impact on your studies
once classes begin. |
