What happens on Welcome Day

25 October 2023

Welcome Day is the best way to find out what university life has to offer.

HOW TO APPLY

Welcome Day takes place the Friday before term starts and is a chance for new students to get familiar with the campus, ask questions, meet people and get sorted for day one at UC.

The event is exclusive to new students but there is also an opportunity for parents/wh膩nau to find out more about the University with a range of special orientation events designed for them.
