Orientation for new students
Orientation is a great way to kickstart your university journey. At the start of each semester, we welcome new students to AUT through our Orientation programme. It's our way of bringing you into the AUT community and making sure you have the best start to your university journey.
Whether you’re joining us straight from school, after a study break or retraining in something new, the AUT Orientation programme will help set you up for success at uni.
Semester 2 Orientation: Monday 8 July
Semester 2 Orientation on Monday 8 July is a single-day event for new undergraduate and postgraduate students. It will take place at AUT's City Campus, which means that all students from our North and South Campus programmes will be required to come to the City Campus on the day.
Check your email for Orientation info
If you’re a new student starting in Semester 2, make sure to check your email for information about Orientation so you get off to a great start. You'll receive your first email from us on Monday 10 June - this will include information about Orientation, such as your network login, which will be your key to access most of AUT’s systems and accounts.

AUT student ambassadors
AUT student ambassadors are current students who volunteer their time to welcome and support new students. You'll meet them during Orientation Week so be prepared to make a friend and bring along any questions about AUT student life and support services.
