Welcome To Charles Sturt University

Professor Lyn GormanCongratulations and welcome to the University. You have opened the door to new and exciting experiences, opportunities and challenges.

At CSU we understand that your first session of study is likely to involve hard work - not just academically, but also learning to adjust to your new role as a University student. This applies whether you are studying on-campus or off-campus, in Australia or overseas, and whether or not you are coming to university straight from school.

To ensure that you have the greatest opportunity for success, we have compiled this guide based on the experiences of students like yourself. The valuable tips and advice in this guide are their suggestions.

It is important to remember that you are not alone. Student mentors are available to provide advice and support, and you will have continuing access to this support during your first session of study. As well as seeking encouragement and assistance from your friends and fellow students, you are encouraged to use the many services available to you at CSU. Take advantage of these by working your way through this guide and completing the suggested activities.

At CSU we value student feedback, so we would welcome your comments and suggestions about this guide. An online evaluation form is available on the Guide to Learning website.

Wishing you every success in your studies,

Professor Lyn Gorman
