After our airport pick-up service personnel has safely conveyed you to your respective university, they’ll assist you with the formalities left to be done in the university. Now comes the transition process. We call it the transition process because this is the point where you will expecting to change and adapt to another society and environment. This change is especially gradual, and it must not be rushed. You will notice so many things that might be very different from what you are used to. But that should not be a problem at all, because you will get used to all of that.
Most of the time, students arrive in the evening, when school has closed and the offices are also closed, so it is usually impossible to get registered and given a place to stay. That also is not a problem at all, this is because when ACASC team bring you to the university and its late, they will usually offer you a hotel to pass the night. It is expected that students will be very tired and weary after the long hours of travelling, so we even advice the students to have a long nights rest and then start the registration the following day.
However if you do not use ACASC pickup service and arrive at the university with a friend or on your own, we will ask you to be very vigilant in handling your possessions and also ask the friend you came with to help you hire a hotel for the night. Once its in the morning, the offfices will resume work and then you cann pay your fees and then get a school hostel or rent an apartment.
