Abstract
The ‘transition’ program which supports the largely school-leaver undergraduate intake to the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design has evolved over many years. The thinking is to offer students a structured opportunity to meet and interact socially with other students from Orientation Week onwards, as well as offering support for their learning and opportunities to undertake additional free, confidential learning support. The transition program merges into compulsory first year courses, and has resulted in a substantial increase in retention from 2000 onwards since its inception.
