Orientation

Orientation is first and foremost a chance to meet fellow students, but it is also an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the GUC, our staff, and our facilities.

You’ll familiarise yourself with online platforms, attend academic workshops, and learn the skills you need to succeed as a university student.
