Semester 1 2024 Orientation 12-19 February
Semester 1 Orientation is a great way to start 2024.
It includes Preparation Week, where you can get help with your enrolment and much more, an International Orientation, a Faculty Welcome and Rā Whakawhanaukataka | Orientation, a special day full of activities to help you get to know other new students and Lincoln a bit better.
Orientation rounds off with your Mihi Whakatau, a welcome onto campus from Taumutu Rūnanga, but your Lincoln experience is just beginning. It's a week to enjoy, get to know people, and to help you become part of our whānau.
We understand that family and whānau are an important part of your journey and welcome them to come along to the events with you. Check out the schedule and mark your calendar to attend the orientation events. You can learn more about the events below.
