What's involved
The re-orientation day provides an opportunity to inform learners of any institutional changes that have taken place and set out expectations for the new academic level. It also reminds learners of the academic and personal supports available and allows learners to reflect on the supports they may need in order to successfully progress.
The morning session consists of the following:
- Welcome back academic orientation and programme induction by Programme Director and Academic Advisor.
- Opportunities to resolve administrative queries.
- Writing development refresh to support your programme stage
- Opportunities for learners to socialise with their class group and learners in advanced stages of their chosen programme.
- Careers and employability workshop to support their programme level.
- Opportunities to engage with student support services.
- Hear from your student representatives about how your voice is represented within the college and how you can engage and participate.
Learners are provided with details of further academic and social induction activities scheduled to take place during semester one.
