Who Dares Wins encapsulates what Orientation is all about at CQUniversity Bundaberg.

Orientation, which kicks off on Monday February 22, has a special focus on accessing academic services and assistance, but there will be plenty of opportunities for fun activities and socialising.

In fact the Who Dares Wins event on Wednesday encourages students to get involved in social and sporting events on campus.

CQUniversity Orientation caters for a broad range of participants, including school leavers, adult learners, parents and partners, on-campus students, distance and flex students, Indigenous students and international students.

During Orientation students will be linked with student mentors who have a vital role in getting new students comfortable with their new surroundings, and will continue to guide students throughout their first year of study.

Orientation coordinator Dr Gemma Mann says Orientation gives students the chance to meet key academics, program advisors and support staff and to find out what is important.

"We don't expect them to be able to do everything in the first week ... just to know what's important for them to find out," she said.

Dr Mann said the University had arranged opportunities for socialising, with events such the Golden Key Sausage Sizzle, free Student Association lunch and BINGO extravaganza.

A Parents and Partners evening will be held on Tuesday from 6.30pm.

Students can attend skills building sessions in time management, assignment writing, information technologies and maths.

Comprehensive details including sessions timed to suit Flex students and a special online resource are available on the Orientation web page accessed via www.cqu.edu.au .
