Dear Future Mandela Uni Student, 

We would like to extend a pre-welcome to you!

Attending orientation is a crucial step in ensuring a smooth transition into university life. It is not just about learning the ins and outs of Nelson Mandela University; it is about laying the foundation for a successful and fulfilling academic journey

During orientation, you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with your campus, meet your future classmates and faculty staff members, and gain valuable insights into university culture and expectations. From understanding how to navigate the campus to discovering the support services available to you, orientation is your chance to start your university experience on the right foot. 

Moreover, orientation provides a platform for you to begin building connections and friendships that go beyond your university journey. By participating in orientation activities, you will become part of a vibrant community of students who are all embarking on this journey together. 

We understand that starting university can feel overwhelming, but attending orientation will help ease any anxieties and set you up for success from day one. Take advantage of this opportunity to get a head start on your university career and make the most of your time at Nelson Mandela University!

We look forward to welcoming you to orientation and supporting you as you begin this exciting chapter in your life. 

Warm regards, 

The First-Year Success Orientation Team
