Orientation starts tomorrow. You don't normally register on the first day.

Guys,

Stick with the information on the corresspondance that you've received from the college. The people in the general offices don't deal with inductions so they know squat!!!!

If the letters say monday its monday, if it says wednesday its wednesday!

Don't panic!

The day you're in you just gets talks about the course and college and get confirmation of your timetable. Lectures don't start until monday the 22nd of September. I.e. week 1 of the first semester!

That link is the academic calender...it is the bible for booking holidays around the college year!

oh and to add ...

dont panic if you miss the induction or getting your student card ...

as elementalwater said , your course co-ordinator will jus meet with the class an get an idea of numbers, talk about the course and answer questions etc...

they might pick class groups if the year has to be split up cos its too big or somethin to fit into classes , but they're usually posted up on your class message board (your class message board will be somewhere in your faculty)

you might get a quick tour of the school too ... its nothin major

its more just to streamline the process of gettin registered so everyone isnt tryin to get their stuff done at once


if you miss gettin your student card ... jus go to the school office and get your giro sorted (it'll be signed and you get a receipt and that) then you'll be directed to where the cards are produced ....

this place is open on and off til October so dont panic ... the only thing you need your student ID for this early in the year is for the library or if you want to get discounts etc...

although ... you'll hav to remember you student ID number, cos its used for pretty much everythin regarding you in the college..

just make sure your in class next monday if you miss anythin and go from there....
