O-Week Confusion

[claireb]

Just found this http://services.unimelb.edu.au/transition/orient/ugrad
"All first year undergraduate students will be assigned to a Host Group on Wednesday 18 July" :/

And a brochure regarding academic advice day:
"Course Information Sessions
All students must attend.
Bachelor of Science
9:00am - 10:00am
JH Michell Theatre, Richard Berry, G20"

There is also a session for languages and linguistics and I'm taking a subject from both.

Is this just for mid-year entries? It's a bit unclear.. It says all students but why would we need a host group/course info sessions again?

tl;dr jaffy problems - are we supposed to go to this o-week and the session/host group or is it just for mid year entry?

If you're entering mid year at UoM for the first time, then it's probably good to go tot he host session.

But if you're transferring from one course to another within UoM, then don't bother I reckon.  What's the point of going to a second tour?
