USC took a COVID-safe approach to Orientation week as it welcomed about 5,500 new students to its campuses from Moreton Bay to the Fraser Coast.
This involved giving students opportunities to participate in a wide variety of Orientation activities both on campus and online.
Pro-Vice Chancellor (Students) Professor Denise Wood AM said USC had adapted how Orientation activities were previously delivered to ensure all required health and safety measures were in place.
“Online sessions will be offered for students who might need extra flexibility and we’ve had some wonderful engagement already with our new students participating in pre-semester skills sessions,” she said.
Professor Wood said taking part in Orientation was absolutely fundamental for new students preparing for the start of Semester 1 on Monday 1 March.
“It’s also a fun week, with opportunities to socialise and get freebies, including their USC student diary,” she said.
