Welcome to Orientation. 

This course induction is for students starting UniLink and Foundation Year courses in Teaching Period 1.

You'll meet your teachers, learn more about your course, and get answers to questions like:

  • How is my course structured?
  • What do I need to organise before classes start?
  • Who can I ask for help?

You'll also meet other students from your course – we want you to spot a familiar face when you walk into your first class!

Please arrive from 9am to check in. The course induction session will start at 9.30am and conclude around 11.30am.
