Orientation marks the beginning of semester for new students. It's a chance to familiarise yourself with the new surroundings, to find out details about your course and to get to know your lecturers, tutors and other new students.
Orientation consists of both social and academic activities.
Enjoy the many barbecues, club days and live entertainers, but don't miss the course information sessions, career advice, library tours and informal meet and greet sessions with lecturers and tutors. Also, make sure you sign up for a computer account, class tutorials and lab sessions, and check out student support services. Attendance at these activities during Orientation will have a major impact on your studies once classes begin.
