School/College Orientation Activities

[Chan FF]

Hello.
I am a freshman and will be enrolled into the School of EEE.
Recently, I had received an email from School of EEE, inviting me to register and participate in the orientation activities organised by the school. The time is 9.30am-5.00pm, 1-9-2010(Wed.)
But at the same time, the Orintation Talk for International Students organised by ISC, will be held on 1-9-2010(Wed.), 4.30pm.
My question is: Are the above activities equally important? Should I register for BOTH the activities? I am afraid there will be a clash.
Thanks.

Hi,

Actually you are strongly encouraged to go for both activities. Orientation activities organised by schools will mainly focus on your school stuffs to let you know more about it. ISC talk will mainly focus on stuffs that related to International Student such as your Tuition Grant and so on.

In my opinion, why don't you just register for both activities and we will see on that day whether both activities are really clash. Coz they shouldn't let you sacrifice any of them as both are equally improtant.

Anyway, we will try to ask for you.

Hmm...if you want an opinion, it is strongly recommended to attend the Orientation Talk by ISC.

From what I understand last year, ISC would not allow freshmen to miss the talk just because they are tied up by some other orientation activities. Besides, these orientation talks are meant to help you to adjust to the new environment in Singapore/NTU. Then again, no harm done if you attend the school orientation first and leaving for the ISC orientation talk

Thank you Senior Teik Sheng and Senior Wencin for providing me the informations.
In fact I had emailed to the relevant departments and just received their replies.
They said I should register for both the activities. In case of a clash of time, I can ask for permission to leave from the on-going event earlier, so that I am able to attend the later event on time.
Therefore, tomorrow I shall register for the orientation activity by the School of EEE.
Please allow me to ask another question: Do I need to register online for the Orientation Talk for International Students organised by ISC?
Thanks again and hope to see all my seniors very soon!!!

Hi Chan FF,

Go ahead and register if they have a link for the online registration!! Otherwise, I think you can just walk in to attend the talk. Personally, I don't remember registering when I was a freshmen
