We understand that the first few days of your tertiary education can be quite intimidating. To ease you into the course, a structured orientation program is the first session that you will attend. In this session, you will get all the information regarding your course, assignments, policies and procedures etc. This session also gives you an opportunity to meet our faculty and other staff.
