Week 5 – Check-in
Welcome to the final week of Your First 5 Weeks Welcome Programme.
We hope you’re starting to feel more at home and confident in your studies. This week’s theme is Check-in – a chance to pause, reflect, and recognise how far you’ve come since your first day.
Take a moment to think about how things are going. If you’re facing challenges or unsure about your next steps, please know that you’re not alone – we’re here to support you. Whether you’re finding aspects of your course difficult or considering a change, we can help you explore your options and guide you towards the best path forward.
A quick reminder: the fee payment deadline is 31 October. If you’re thinking about deferring or withdrawing, it’s important to make your decision before this date.
And remember – our support doesn’t end when the programme does. We’re here for you throughout your time at ATU, every step of the way.
✅ Still unsure about your course? — have a chat with your programme coordinator or Student Services. We’re always here for you. Remember: The fees deadline is 31 October — so if you’re thinking about withdrawing or making a change, sort it before then!
✅ It’s never too late to get involved — missed the first few weeks? No stress! You can still join a club, society or sports team. There’s always something happening and new people to meet. Check out ATUSU Life for details of clubs and socs on your campus.
✅ Start planning for assignments and exams — check when your first assignments, projects or midterms are coming up.
✅ Check in with yourself — take a minute to see how you’re doing, not just with study but your overall wellbeing. If you need a bit of support, there are free counselling services and our pastoral care team is always available for a chat if you are finding things tough.
✅ Find your balance — college life is busy, but make sure to give yourself time to chill too. Staying on top of study is important, but so is rest, fun, and looking after yourself.
