Orientation

When you first arrive at Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus, you will take part in an Orientation. It will introduce you to your new study environment and allow you to learn about the services, facilities, and support available. Orientation includes presentations from academic and professional staff, an introduction to your programmes and lecturers, an IT induction, and workshops about employability. Attendance is compulsory.

Where and when?

All new students are required to come to our Queen Street campus for Registration and Orientation. Orientation week for learners joining us in Study Block 1, 2025 will begin on Monday 3 February. Please check this page for a full Orientation schedule closer to the time. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email studentsuccessaic@op.ac.nz.
