Student Voice University Orientation
Orientation is a set of programmes designed to
introduce first-year students to the different
facilities and unique aspects of university
life. It usually begins with Parents
Orientation, where the parents of new students
are invited to familiarise themselves with the
university.
Each faculty also runs its own Orientation
programme, as does the International Academic
Programmes Office (IAPO). For students in
residence, there is also a residence Orientation
programme.
Faculty Orientations include academic advice
about courses and programmes, assessment tests
and questionnaires, computer training, campus
and library tours, as well as introductions to
student services like the Careers Office, the
Counselling Service and AIDS Community Educators
(ACEs).
During Orientation Week or "O" Week the more
than 80 student clubs and societies also
showcase their activities and invite students to
join.
