Orientation Days

• The Orientation Days are a mandatory part of your studies.
• Social events are also organised during the evening so keep the whole days reserved so that you can attend.
• You can only attend the orientation days for the new student group you belong to and at the campus you were offered admission to. If you were admitted to Vaasa you must attend the orientation days in Vaasa and vice versa. 
• Students arriving from abroad: make travel arrangements which ensure that you arrive well in advance before the Orientation Days.
