Orientation

Transition to University involves both opportunities and challenges. A successful transition is important in developing a sense of belonging and better academic adjustment and success. The University seeks to facilitate students’ successful transition through a wide range of programs and activities. Orientation activities for both undergraduate and postgraduate students are scheduled at the beginning of each semester.
