To get the most out of University, you must prepare, take care and persist.

We are here to provide you with a range of resources, activities and supports, both on campus and online, to help you get the best out of your studies at Flinders University. Below you will find a range of activities that you can get involved in, in your first week of study.

You can also visit Finding Your Way at Flinders if you prefer an online orientation experience at your own pace. Visit the Orientation Video Library for dozens of videos helping you get your head around life at University, study skills and referencing, ways to get social, make friends, and also accessing support services and looking after your wellbeing.
