Orientation
Information for students who missed Academic Orientation
Academic Orientation was held in the week before classes started. Because we understand that some students were unable to attend their Divisional Academic Orientation Day (or maybe you attended and need a refresher!) we can assist you to do your own orientation both on campus and online.
What you missed at your Academic Orientation Day
…..
and how you can ‘Do it Yourself’
- Introduction to online learning – this is a big part of your academic experience at Macquarie so it is worth catching up on this session. On Campus assistance: see Need it Now Sessions below. Online assistance is available.
- How to use the library and library tours (pdf)
- Meet a mentor who can assist with any questions you may have.
- Your first 6 weeks survival guide
- Semester planner (pdf) and Weekly planner (pdf)
- Worried about writing at University. The online Writing Gateway will help you get started

‘NEED IT NOW’ sessions.
