Learn about your new campus
Part of the fun of the first week of semester is discovering the exciting events and facilities your campus offers – and getting lost on your way to find them.
Find campus maps, and read about your campus and its facilities
Campus guides
Massey Guides are friendly senior students who can answer your questions and help you get to where you need to be. They’ll be walking around campus wearing blue t-shirts, so you’ll be able to spot them easily.

Sort out your timetable
If O-week is about settling in and having fun, your academic year will begin with your first lectures or seminars. Make sure you know where you need to be and when by creating your timetable in the student portal. You will then be able to view your personal timetable in either the student portal or the Massey Uni app.

Working hard in lectures and classes is important, but studying on your own is key to getting the most out of your tertiary education.
Use your first week to plan how you’ll stay on track academically.
- Be organised and realistic about how much you need to study. Remember that each course takes about 12 hours’ work each week.
- Find out when your assignments are due and when your tests and exams will be, so you can make a plan to meet your deadlines.
- Your campus library is a great place to focus on studying. You’ll get free wifi and access to our library collections, plus individual and group study spaces.
