Induction Checklist
The following Induction Checklist is not exhaustive; however it outlines the
typical things that may need to be covered during your first few days and
weeks.
The list below should be seen as an aide memoir only. The length and depth
of your induction will vary from person to person. Not all items on the list may
be applicable to you.
It is not expected that the individual responsible for coordinating your
induction “brief” you on every item. You could find a great deal of the
information out for yourself. A good source of information is the University
Website.
