Orientation for new students 2012
Welcome to the School of Art,
Architecture and Design and congratulations on
receiving and accepting an offer to the University!
Orientation activities introduce you to campus life, to people, to new ways of teaching and learning and to the multitude of resources and support available at the University of South Australia. It is highly recommended that you attend the orientation activities for your program. See also Enrolment and timetable information and the new students website.
There are also some useful new student tip videos available.

Welcome Areas
There will be a Welcome Area in Yungondi Building. The Welcome Area is a great place to meet
U-Buddies (students already studying at UniSA) who can assist you with your
queries in a relaxed, informal atmosphere about life at UniSA, enrolment, or
find accommodation.
In addition, the Welcome Area at City West will be open with an extended
service during the first two weeks of teaching (details coming later) where a
U-Buddy will be able to assist you with your questions about:
- Accessing the University's online environment
- Any transition to study at UniSA issues you may have
