First trip to ECU Joondalup

Hi all,

Well yesterday I had an appointment with the "Equity, Diversity and Disability Officer" as I have trouble writing with a pen for long periods of time eg exams. I need to get my GP to fill out a form so that we can do a learning plan that will put in place being able to use a laptop for exams.

I arrived with about 30 minutes to spare, followed the signs to a carpark near by. Bought a parking ticket, and then headed off in the wrong direction, ended up at the library and looked at the map I had printed. Worked out where the building I needed was and it took me virtually past my car again (and this was around midday on a 35°day)

The officers office is on Level 4! and the lifts were out of action (which I was told about when we made the appointment, but I do not mind some exercise) so I climbed the 4 flights of stairs (all 60 of them). Had a great appointment.

After the appointment which was in the same building as "Student Central" I decided to get my parking permit. I also wanted to get my ID/ Library/Photocopying and Print Card. Which was over in the Library building Doh.

So I now have my ID, Car Permit, need to make another appointment once my GP has done the paperwork.

Next trip to campus will be for O week, the events I need to attend are over 3 days but this is kewl as I do not want to wear myself out.

I am really looking forward to uni :)

  1. Hugs hon, O week is Orientation week (which is funny they call it that as it goes for two weeks lol)

    It is things like free BBQ lunch, you get addressed by the vice chancellor, induction lecture for the degree, do things like student ID, parking permit, after hours access cards etc.

    Also lectures on how to use the tech services (where to find lecture notes, handouts etc)

    Lots of good stuff and a good party atmosphere.
