Hall Orientation Programmes
|
 |
Hall associations of residential halls, in consultation with their wardens and tutors, organize orientation programmes for new residents before the start of the academic year. During the orientation, you will become acquainted with other new residents and current residents. A variety of activities will be offered during the orientation period, and participation in these activities is voluntary.
The University has established the following principles in relation to hall orientation programmes:
(a)
|
the main objective of hall orientation programmes is to assist and to facilitate residents' transition into a new living and learning environment;
|
| (b) |
organizers of hall orientation programmes should recognize residents' rights to give priority to their academic programme and studies;
|
| (c) |
no penalty or pressure should be imposed on residents for incompletion of any part of the orientation programmes; and
|
| (d) |
at no time during the orientation programme and the period in residence should the dignity and rights of an individual be infringed upon.
|
New residents who feel that any part of the orientation activities is in violation of the principles listed above can report their observation to the warden concerned, the Students' Union or the Dean of Student Affairs.
