Orientation

As the College community begins a new semester of study, we offer an Orientation Program for all new and returning students.

The purpose of the Orientation Program is for students to become familiar with the practical logistics of studying and being part of the Mary Andrews community.

You will be invited to register for Orientation upon being accepted into your course and enrolling. Orientation is offered in hybrid format and students can attend in person or join online via Zoom.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email macmin@mac.edu.au.
