UTS Insearch

Orientation Week is an important part of your introduction to

UTS:INSEARCH and UTS. It is where you will learn how to get the most out

of your time with us and receive important information about your course

and our facilities. It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow students and

make new friends.

This guide contains everything you need to know about Orientation Week

and the activities you will need to complete. It’s important that you attend

all Orientation sessions as the activities have been developed to make sure

you have all the information you need to be successful and feel at home at

UTS:INSEARCH.

If at any stage during this week you get lost or feel you need help, please speak to one of our

student volunteers. You will recognise them because they will all be wearing bright orange t-shirts.

With students from all around the world, you are likely to find a volunteer that speaks both English

and another language. Just look for the country flags on our volunteers’ sleeves if you feel more

comfortable asking in your own language. These volunteers will act as your tour guides on the first

day of Orientation Week; helping you navigate around our campus and showing you all the facilities

you have access to. They will also introduce you to UTS.

Because we understand that the first few weeks in a new country and at a new school can often be

difficult, you will also receive a call from our student volunteers in the first week or two. This is to

make sure you are settling in and it gives you a chance to let us know if you have any questions or

concerns.

If you ever have any questions or problems, our Student Centre staff are available to talk to you and

are situated on the ground floor of the Blue Building.

On the next few pages you will find a list of all the activities you should complete during Orientation

Week. Make sure you attend all and mark them off as you go – we wouldn’t want you to miss out on

anything important.

We hope you enjoy Orientation Week and look forward to seeing you around campus.

Regards,

Sebastian Zagarella
