Introduction Week: 29 August 2024
Programme for Day 4
Individual tutor meetings: 29 & 30 August
On either 29 August or 30 August, you will have a personal meeting with your academic tutor. You will be contacted by your tutor and given a time for the meeting. These will take place in timeslots of 20 minutes per student. During the meeting, you can discuss any concerns that you may have about your upcoming courses and learn more about what you can expect from your tutor. This is also a good opportunity to ask any questions about your class schedule.
Your tutor will confirm the time and location of your meeting during the tutor workshops earlier in the week. Please note that tutor meetings are mandatory to attend and take priority over the Social Workshops and AUSCA Committee activities.
