By now you should have been contacted by your UniMentor.
They’re there to provide you with information, guidance and advice to help you navigate uni life,
as they understand what it’s like to be a new student at UniSA.
If you need help with your study or assignments, you can drop in to see one of the Study Help PALS.
They are current students who have undergone training to provide friendly,
informal study support on a range of topics.
You can get free Peer Assisted Study Sessions, known as PASS,
run by students who have excelled in a particular course.
They understand where you’re coming from,
plus they can share first-hand experience of how to approach your course.
The environment is always relaxed and informal and almost all participants recommend PASS,
so it’s a great way for you to complement your studies.
One of the best way to meet other students on campus and
make new friends is to join a club or attend an event.
Whether you’re into sport, particular interests and hobbies
or just wanting to meet other students from your home country, there’s a club for you.
There are also many fun events you can attend, from sporting competitions,
multicultural festivals, to events that help you relax on campus.
Some buildings on UniSA campuses have names, others only have codes or letters.
Every lecture theatre and tutorial room also has a code that’s often referred to on your timetable or schedules.
Each room code has three elements: building name, level and room number
– example: H2-16 is H Building, level 2, room 16.
It is important to refer to your campus map to find out what the buildings on your campus are
and what they’re known by.
Make sure you familiarise yourself with the important areas and facilities on campus
particularly those that you will visit often.
Explore your campus and find out where Campus Central, the library, your School office,
computer pools, printers and study spaces are, as they are essential to your studies.
There are also many useful facilities and amenities for you to use.
Make sure you join a campus tour at O-Week so you know where to go by the time you start uni next week!
