Orientation information
Orientation is held at the beginning of each semester in the week prior to commencement of classes. It is designed to help you to settle in to university life and includes activities to help you get to know the campus, learn about academic expectations and assessment, access resources and services and do practical things like get your student ID card and set-up your online access. Orientation is also a great time to meet students and staff, make new friends and have some fun!
