Orientation helps you get ahead before you even begin
Orientation sessions
Compulsory orientation sessions are held on each campus at the beginning of every trimester. Virtual Orientation sessions are also run for those of you studying online.
Orientation will take you through all you need to know about your:

Orientation is a great opportunity to:

Get the most out of your studies
After you receive your timetable you can develop your study schedule.
A schedule is a great way to manage the time you'll need for study, classes and other commitments. It will help you plan for assignments and exams, and ensure there's enough time for other life activities. Follow the simple steps below.
5 STEPS TO CREATE A STUDY SCHEDULE
- Check your Confirmation of Class Enrolment, which was sent to you when you enrolled.
- Block out your timetable commitments on your schedule, i.e., lectures and tutorials and your other commitments such as work, sport and social activities.
- Work out when your most effective study times are (morning or evening?) and block out study periods for each of your subjects.
- Mark important dates such as assignment due dates and exams to make sure you have enough study time planned in the lead-up.
- Schedule regular breaks when studying, whether it’s going for a walk or getting a coffee. It will help you stay motivated.
