Orientation

student2

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.

Throughout the year the Services for Students website and MyUni student portal provide online information and access to services for enrolled students.
