Pre-Orientation & Registration: Round A/0

We know that the transition back into education for Mature Students can be a daunting prospect. To assist you in getting the best start to your studies, we are hosting a Pre-Orientation & Registration morning on Monday, 2 September from 9.00am – 2.30pm. 

This event is designed to introduce you to the College IT systems, help you to upskill in academic writing and explore Assistive Technology tools that can support you in your studies. It’s also a great opportunity to meet others starting their college journey.
