Orientation day (1 Viewer)

[shaneuko]

Unfortunately, I will be oversea while the orientation day for engineering hold in 21st feb. Is that fine?.. I mean if I can't attend the orientation.

Can you go to the Engineering/IT camp? The camp covers pretty much everything in orientation week and it's reccomended you don't go to the orientation stuff (besides fun ones ofcourse) if you go camp. Either way, it will be fine if you dont attend either as you wont miss anything extremely important - the good part about camp is meeting new people.

thanks so much for ur response. I will see and try to attend. I do think that in Engineering/IT course. There is no doubt that much more boys than girls, right? Lol, just joking.

 

[brent012]

Yes, there is lol. The girl to guy ratio is better in IT than engineering though. Don't worry though - it's not like there are no girls. I'd say civil has the higher amount of girls followed by ICT compared to the other majors.

What happens on the day that O-camp starts?

What do you mean? You go to the bus bay out the front of Haymarket campus building (near the Library) and wait for a bus =P

Oh.... do you have to sign up?

Yep, it costs too but it's subsidised so pretty cheap. Even then I think if you get some form of centrelink payments it's free.

Enrol for both semesters but you dont neccesarily NEED the spring time table yet. But it's good to do it early so you dont miss out on any good times.

Do you have to enroll for spring or can you just do autumn?

Wait.. is the IT/Engineering camp compulsory? I just read the FAQ and it says that it is compulsory for all recent school leavers doing a IT/Engineering degree to attend.

yep, that's what i trying to do now. and is another question come out. once we finish our timetable, as i said above. i probably cant attend the O week and camp. so i just go in to the first class i have in the timetable like in 25th of feb? hope i make sense

Not 100% sure, they will ring you up or email you if there is a problem though.

They say that, but it's not true. They just want you to go because they cover a lot of commonly asked questions there and you learn a bit about everything and, most importantly, you make friends in your course.

Pretty much, i dont know what your first class/lecture will be but mine was Engineering Communication lecture and i just walked in the building like 20 minutes early and it was full of first year Eng students waiting lol so i just went and found my friends from camp and school. Just make sure whatever you rock up to does have a class that week! Most tutes or practical stuff doesn't run in the first week. So you definitely cant attend any orientation stuff?

 

[shaneuko]

yep , coz i will return from oversea probably on 22nd, feb.
