What to expect

Orientation: the beginning of your student journey

Your orientation week starts the week before your classes do. It’s a great opportunity to not only learn more about your course and faculty so that you’re prepared for an easy transition to tertiary studies but to also meet fellow students

You can expect information sessions on your course, accommodation, employment, health and safety, and computer skills. If you haven’t enrolled yet, you’ll be guided through the enrolment process where you can create your timetable, buy your textbooks, and obtain your student ID card.

All of these sessions are designed to help you settle into your new environment as quickly and as comfortably as possible.
