Welcome to Orientation. This is the First Class.

This course induction session is designed to prepare you for Week 1.

You'll meet your teachers, learn more about your course, and get answers to questions like:

  • How is my course structured?
  • What is a major and do I need to choose one?
  • What does a typical class look like?
     

You'll also meet other students from your course – this Orientation session is your chance to make connections. (We want you to spot a familiar face when you walk into class in Week 1!) 

RSVP via the form on this page to let us know you're coming.

Please arrive 30 minutes early to check in and get settled. This will assist us to start (and finish) your session on time.

Is this the right session for me?

This session is for students enrolled in Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology – including double degrees.
