Not only are you expected to soak up the study material but your organisational and time management skills are about to be tested. Welcome to extramural study.

Where do I find out about academic writing and referencing? What’s this about assignment pre-reading? Where is my extramural orientation meeting? Searching the library databases, voice recognition software, professional proofreading and transcribing, do I really need Abrams? There are so many issues, steps and hassles to distract you at the outset of the year it is hard to focus on the study. Even so, it might even be nice to check out the campus and get involved in some of the orientation events.
