Week one

This is the time you'll start attending your first classes.

During this week, it's a good idea to:

• check your specific college web pages
• get to know other students in your class
• join a club or society
• keep up to date with the academic calendar
• buy your textbooks from the bookshop
• check out our library.

You can also contact your Transition and Retention Coordinator if you need someone to talk to about study options or settling into life at VU.

Week two

Once you are familiar with getting to class you can explore what else is on offer:

• learning support resources and services for current students
• campus events and campus life activities.

You should also add your assessment deadlines and important university dates such as the census date to your diary.

Week three

This week you should be feeling more comfortable. We can help you adjust to your new life and find the right balance between study, work and play. Check out our student services:

• Student learning support
• Clubs and societies
• Counselling services
• Welfare services
• Student advisory services

Week four

By now you should be progressing with your studies and have a good idea whether you are happy with the subjects you have chosen.

If you would like to make some changes to your enrolment you must do so by the census date. This is the last chance to withdraw from subjects without financial penalty.
