A series of induction programmes will be offered to the newly arrived non-local students at the beginning of the semester. These activities are a mixture of fun, fact findings, visits and tours. They aim to help the students to settle in, induct into the local way, and know more about the new environment and people. One of the highlights of the WoW is the Orientation for Non-local Students to be held before the beginning of each semester. For details and registration, please visit the website for Non-Local students of the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS) at cedars.hku.hk/wow.

Non-local students are strongly recommended to take various learning and psychological assessments at Psychometer (psyax.cedars.hku.hk), a web-based psychological profile for all HKU students, to monitor how well they adjust to the new cultural and learning environment at HKU.
