Six Essential Things to do During Orientation

1. Download your own personalised Orientation Program

Visit the eOrientation Planner  to create your own personalised Orientation program.

2. Get to know your library

It makes a lot of sense to do a library tour during Orientation http://www.lib.monash.edu.au./classes/. You'll learn to find your way around the library and find out how to borrow and use the electronic resources. Library tours continue throughout the first few weeks of classes, but you should beat the rush and get in early.

3. Sign up for a computer account

Get access to email and the internet by signing up for a computer account during Orientation. Get your account by visiting http://www.monash.edu.au/students/computer/. Find out more by attending an information session conducted by Information Technology Services (ITS) or by visiting the ITS Service Desk in room IE216 in the east wing of the main campus building, near the Knuckle. Computer accounts are a must because all courses will require you to have access to the web and email.

4. Sign up for tutorials and lab sessions

Find out if you need to sign up for tutorials and laboratory sessions this week. Attend your faculty or department information session to find out more.

5. Join a club

Clubs are a great way to meet people, broaden your interests and take time out from study. Check out the list of clubs and societies in this guide and visit the club stalls during Orientation.

6. And last but not least - have fun

Join in Orientation activities, ask questions, chat to people and get a feel for uni life. Remember, everyone's new just like you, so don't be shy. Get involved and you'll have a ball.
