Welcome Day for First Year Students at UP
Welcome Day is one of the most important days in the University of Pretoria’s academic calendar when new first-year students and their parents or guardians are welcomed as part of the UP family and community.
First-year students and their parents or guardians are invited to the 2018 Welcome Day taking place on Saturday, 27 January 2018 at the Rembrandt Hall on the UP Hillcrest Sports Campus in South Street, Hatfield, Pretoria.
In order to accommodate everyone, the university has planned two sessions. The first session will commence at 08:00 and the second at 11:00. At both sessions, the senior leadership team of the University will be introduced and the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of UP, Prof Cheryl de la Rey, will address the new students and their families. Both sessions will be preceded by a formal procession of the University’s Executive and deans.
The Welcome Day session will be live-streamed to venues outside Rembrandt Hall to accommodate a possible overflow of guests and will also be posted on the University’s website.
