EN-2: Student Orientation

Each student is taken care upon admission to ensure that he or she receives all informations relatives to the start of academic year. All communications about students services are done by email and those emails give the opportunity to new students to register to orientation sessions, guided tours and the workshop; find accomodation. The university is equipped with residual material sorting stations that enable the different types of residual material to be properly discarded during the orientation days and all year long.

This survey helps evaluate students needs to adapt the orientation days year after year.
