Orientation marks the beginning of your university studies and is designed to help you settle into life at university. Orientation Week will provide you with information to fully prepare you for the start of semester, in addition to familiarising you with the services and facilities available on each campus.
Orientation will help you to find your way around campus, introduce you to your studies and put you in touch with the staff in your area of study. It is also a great opportunity to meet the other students that you will be studying with. Orientation is about becoming familiar with your surroundings and knowing where to go for assistance should you need it.
The University of Tasmania is committed to the inclusion of students in all aspects of university life. We endeavour to make Orientation accessible to everyone and we hope that you feel welcome to participate in all of the activities listed in the Orientation programs. If you have a health or other condition which you think may prevent you from accessing our Orientation programs, or a condition that you believe we should be made aware of beforehand, please contact us. You can also contact a Disability Adviser or find more information about applying for services and study adjustments on the Student Centre website: www.utas.edu.au/students/disability/students
If you are studying online we strongly recommend you make the time to go through the Online Orientation material below.
Semester 2 Orientation was 8-12 July 2013. Did you miss it? We understand that not everyone can attend Orientation and we have designed our Online Orientation information to assist those of you who could not attend. If you need additional assistance, we recommend getting in touch with a Student Adviser to ensure you are aware of the full range of support services that are available to you.
For more information about Orientation, please email Orientation Support.
Orientation information is also available online - please visit Online Orientation.
Whether you are studying online or on campus you will find lots of information on these pages that will help you make a successful transition to university. This includes information on learning and academic skills programs you can access; counselling and disability services; and university life in general.
It was great to meet all the new students starting across the Launceston, Hobart and Burnie campuses during Orientation Week. We wish you all the very best for your studies this semester.
