Over the past two weeks, new OPAIC students have been invited to complete our First Impressions Survey.

The survey helps us to see how new learners are settling in and helps us improve our pre-enrolment, student support, and teaching. 

The results of the most recent survey are in, and we are pleased to see that most of our new onshore and offshore learners are settling in well. 

Results showed that 94% of students who attended Orientation said it made them feel welcome and supported and 95% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they are satisfied with their programme so far.

Overall, 77% of respondents said that their experience at Otago Polytechnic so far has been either ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’. 

Some students have made suggestions for how we can improve our IT support materials and facilities on campus. We will be working on this feedback in the coming weeks. 

A huge thank you to all of our new learners who took the time to provide this valuable feedback. We really appreciate it. 

 At OPAIC, we understand the importance of your student voice and provide many opportunities throughout the year for students to provide feedback in a safe and confidential environment.
