1 Orientation Program Townsville Campus Study Period 1, 2017 Prepare for Success

2 Welcome to James Cook University As you ll discover, it is an exciting place to be whether you are studying on campus, by distance or on-line. With an international reputation among the world s top tertiary institutions JCU is ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world you can be confident about choosing JCU as your university. During your time with us you will discover and explore new ideas, subjects, people and possibilities. You will learn how to build on the core expertise you acquire to adapt to the demands of a changing world while meeting students from all over the world and interacting with JCU s world renowned researchers dedicated to creating a brighter future for life in the tropics, locally and world-wide through graduates and discoveries that make a difference. Indeed, just last year, JCU was very much involved in both research and advocacy that resulted in the United Nations declaring 29 June as the International Day of the Tropics. With main campuses in the tropical cities of Cairns, Townsville and Singapore, and many exchange partners around the world, there are opportunities for you to choose to do part of your studies on campuses other than your home campus. In fact, over the next three years more than 400 JCU students will be travelling in the Asia-Pacific as part of their studies to learn more about the Asia-Pacific region thanks to nearly $1.5 million awarded to JCU through the Australian Government s New Colombo Plan. Our Work Integrated Learning program has extended the opportunities for you to experience what it will be like in the workplace of your chosen career. Work placements are no longer confined to the traditional areas of medical science and teaching. And it all begins with Orientation. The Orientation program is designed to help you learn about JCU and all that it has to offer so that you can reap the full benefits of your university experience from the very first day. Our staff are here to assist you to reach your personal academic goals during your time at JCU, and your professional goals once you graduate. To assist with your transition into university life, I invite you to attend our Welcome 2 University event. This event is one of the many highlights of O Week and will provide you with a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends in a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy your time at JCU and make the most of the opportunities that a fine university education can provide. I wish you every success in your studies in Professor Sandra Harding Vice Chancellor and President Orientation Week, or O Week, is the official start to your university studies. The Orientation Program is packed with essential and fun activities. Fun Fact Attending JCU O Week and having a Student Mentor increases your success rates by up to 20%! (2015 JCU Retention Data) O Week runs from February 2017 the week before teaching starts in Study Period 1.

12 Stay and Succeed Commencing university is an exciting time and students commonly feel happy and enthusiastic about their decision to study a chosen field. Your first study period at university will be a stimulating experience, but it is also an especially busy time as you learn about the university environment, academic expectations, learning technologies, where to go for help, as well as your course content. These new and exciting challenges can cause students to feel anxious and unsure at various times, particularly around assessment periods. As shown in the graphic below, students can feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster in their first study period at university, which is 100% normal. The good news is that if you come along to O Week you will learn lots of tips and strategies to help you smoothly navigate your transition into university and that there are a lot of free support services available to help you succeed.

Super-Sized Study Sessions Helpful Habits Independent Learner Academic Health Check Form study groups and find out about PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) they will help you study more effectively and efficiently, and are enjoyable. Aim to stick to a healthy routine with regular sleep patterns, exercise and eating. Study regularly and start assessments early they often take longer than you think! JCU is an adult learning environment and students are expected to become self-directed learners and access online learning resources, such as The Learning Centre, Library, LearnJCU and Lynda.com. Give yourself a weekly check-up each Friday and reflect on how you are coping with different elements of your study and life. Seek out friendly JCU academic and professional staff if you need some helpful fine tuning in any area. Create Connections Mindfulness Subject Guidelines Study Strategically Be brave and introduce yourself to people around you. Find some likeminded peers and form informal study groups help each other to succeed and feel a sense of belonging at university. Also, schedule regular time with friends and family to stay connected. Regularly take the time to stop and be in the present moment and take a few deep breaths. Challenge negative, critical thoughts that may creep in and replace them with positive, encouraging ones. Treat yourself the way you would treat a friend. Read all your subject outlines multiple times throughout the study period they contain vital information about how to succeed in your subject and academic expectations. Summarise your notes and readings each week into a one-page typed sheet it will help consolidate your learning and these will become your exam prep notes (win-win)! Study, Stop and Revive Drop Down Not Out Regular Rewards Mentor Magic Plan university in shifts. Let your brain and body have a complete break between shifts to recharge. Review your study load before Census Date and decide whether you need to drop a subject (or two) in order to be successful and remain at university. Always seek advice about which subject/s to drop and impact on financial assistance payments. Celebrate your achievements (big and small) and reward yourself regularly for your hard work and efforts. Remind yourself regularly of your strengths and long-term goals. You will get a Student Mentor in O Week. They are here to help and have been in your shoes. They are happy to catch up for coffee and a chat and point you in the right direction. 11
