a university to admit a first year class. Our
admissions team gets support from:
– Recruitment team (Faculty and University),
– Departments (recruiting events as well as custom notes to
successful applicants)

(and overrides)
• How to change the content. Course content is
the responsibility of the department, however the
calendar process involves the department,
EUGO, the library, the registrar`s office and the
Senate.
• How to get a student into the course. Student
enrolment: usually by blocks, but also course
override forms.

Academic Advising
• In addition to the advising by the first year team
• In some way every member of EUGO is
responsible for aspects of student advising

ask when you have no idea who to ask!
