Dit was die regte besluit om in te skryf by die Noordwes-Universiteit. Laat ons jou help om jou drome te verwesenlik –
op watter studierigting jy ook al besluit het. Ons koester hoë verwagtinge van jou en jou toekomstige bydrae tot hierdie
universiteit en die land.
Dit is belangrik om van die geleenthede gebruik te maak wat die Universiteit bied om te ontwikkel as iemand wat bewus
is van en sensitief is vir jou omgewing. Kyk na alles met nuwe en kritiese oë; vra moeilike vrae; neem met oorgawe
deel aan alles wat die studentelewe bied; neem deel aan sport- en kultuurgeleenthede; en onthou om tyd te maak om
lewenslange vriendskappe aan te knoop.
Vier die diversiteit van ons kampusse. Jy sal ander studente van allerlei kulture, nasies en tale ontmoet. Wees sosiaal
inklusief en ontvanklik, en jy sal waardevolle lesse leer vir die lewe en die wêreld van werk.
Die Universiteit is getrou aan sy waardes – integriteit, toewyding, toerekenbaarheid en respek. Dit is nie-onderhandelbaar,
en as ʼn universiteit het ons geen toleransie vir enige optrede wat hierdie waardes in die gedrang bring of ondermyn nie.
Op al ons kampusse is toegewyde personeel wat vennootskappe sal aangaan met jou in jou leerervaring. Beplanning
en harde werk deur gemotiveerde personeel en studente is belangrike bestanddele van die NWU se suksesresep.
Onthou dat ʼn vervullende studentelewe ʼn gevolg is van dit wat jy bereid is om te investeer.
Belê in hierdie geleenthede; leef voluit en verantwoordelik; wees voorbereid om iets van jouself te gee. Jy sal verbaas
wees om te sien hoeveel jy terugkry, en hoeveel dit kan doen vir jou leerervaring. Die kennis en vaardighede wat jy hier
opdoen, sal jou goed te pas kom in die toekoms.
Maak die meeste van jou tyd by die NWU.
Dit alles begin hier.
Indien jy enige gedagtes of klagtes ten opsigte van die Registrasie en Oriëntasieprogram het, of enige vorm van gedrag
wil aanmeld waar jy voel jy is afgeknou of geïntimideer, kan jy Prof Dan Kgwadi direk kontak by 082 929 6081.
You have made the right choice by enrolling at the North-West University so that we can work with you on the realisation
of your future dreams, in whatever field of study you are undertaking. We have high expectations of you and the
contribution you can make to this university and the country.
It is important that you use the opportunities the university offers to develop as a person aware of and responsive to
your environment. See things with new and critical eyes; ask difficult questions; participate in what student life has to
offer in abundance; take part in the sport and cultural opportunities presented by the university; and remember to make
time to invest in lifelong friendships.
Celebrate and embrace the diversity of our campuses. You will meet fellow students from diverse cultures, and
nationalities and speaking languages other than yours. Be socially inclusive and
open-minded and you will learn valuable lessons for life and the world of work.
The university lives by its values – integrity, commitment, accountability and
respect. These are non-negotiable and as a university we have a zero-tolerance
approach to any actions that undermine or fail to observe these values.
On all of our campuses you will find dedicated and committed staff who will
partner with you in your journey of learning. Planning and hard work by
motivated staff members and students are important ingredients for a recipe for
success at the NWU.
Remember that a rewarding and fulfilling student life will result from what you put
into it.
Invest in these opportunities; live fully and responsibly; be prepared to give
something of yourself. You will be surprised to see how much you will get
back, and how much your learning will be enhanced. The knowledge and
skills that you will acquire here will serve you well in future.
Make the most of your time with us.
It all starts here.
If you have any compliments and complaints about the Registration and
Orientation Programme or want to report any behaviour where you feel
you have been intimidated or abused, you can contact Prof Dan Kgwadi
directly at 082 929 6081.

Beste Eerstejaar
Ek skryf hierdie boodskap vir jou met groot verwagting! Ek is nie net opgewonde oor die Noordwes-Universiteit nie,
maar ook vir jou wat hierdie groot en wonderlike besluit geneem het om jou toekoms op die Potchefstroomkampus van
die Noordwes-Universiteit te begin.
Baie hartlik welkom aan al die nuwe NWU-Pukke van 2015. Julle staan op die vooraand van ‘n totaal nuwe en
opwindende tydperk in julle lewe waartydens julle vorming verder sal geskied en julle toegerus sal word met die nodige
kennis om ’n beroep te kan begin beoefen.
In die dae wat voorlê sal elke nuwe eerstejaarstudent deeglik kennis maak met alle fasette van studentwees. Die NWU
wil elkeen graag hierin ondersteun en julle help om ‘n vaste fondament te bou deur middel van hoë gehalte onderrig en ‘n

is by uitnemendheid toekomsgerig.
Plaas ‘n groot prioriteit op akademie en maak ten volle gebruik van al die studiegeleenthede wat die Universiteit bied.
Onthou altyd dat akademiese skoling die hoofdoel vir elke student moet wees. Wees egter ook gebalanseerd en neem
deel aan aktiwiteite wat jou persoonlikheid ontwikkel, naamlik sport, kultuur, die koshuislewe, die georganiseerde
studentelewe, ens. Dit dra by tot die vorming en die toerusting vir die latere lewe.
Die Universiteit se Registrasie en Oriëntasieprogram sal vir julle ‘n belangrike bron van inligting wees. Wees betrokke
en neem ten volle deel. Dit sal van julle volwaardige en suksesvolle lede van die NWU-gemeenskap maak.
Dit is vir my ʼn wonderlike voorreg en eer om julle welkom te heet by dié lekkerste kampus in die land.

Die Dekaan Studentesake, in samewerking met die Studenteraad en sy strukture asook die koshuisbesture, wil seker
maak dat jou studente-ervaring op die kampus uniek is.
Studente en ouers kan enige tyd gedurende kantoorure by die bekwame personeel in hierdie kantoor aanmeld of die

By die NWU-Potchefstroomkampus poog ons om die gesprek tussen student, hul
ouers en die kampusbestuur (én Studenteraad) voortdurend oop te hou. Ons wil
ingelig wees oor die ervarings van die eerstejaars en hul ouers.
Daarom het ons ʼn SMS-lyn gevestig waar studente en ouers hul menings kan lug.
Ons wil almal aanmoedig om dit deurentyd te gebruik en enige gedagte (positiewe
terugvoer) of klagte (negatiewe ervaring) onmiddellik aan ons te rapporteer. Wees
verseker dat alle inligting met omsigtigheid hanteer word en dat anoniemiteit ten
alle tye gewaarborg word (tensy anders versoek).
At the NWU Potchefstroom Campus we strive to continuously keep the
discourse between student, their parents and the campus management
(and Student Council) open. We want to be informed about the
experiences of the first-years and their parents.
We therefore established an SMS line where students and parents
can air their opinions. We would like to encourage everybody to use
it to immediately report any thought (positive feedback) or complaint
(negative experience) to us. Be assured that all information is treated
with circumspection and that anonymity is ensured at all times
(unless otherwise requested).
Welkom my mede NWU-PUK of moet ek eerder sê Pukki!
Ek raak elke jaar meer opgewonde om die nuwe eerstejaars welkom te heet. Hier in Potchefstroom, gaan jy van die
lekkerste tye in jou lewe ervaar. Pukki werk saam met prof. Herman van Schalkwyk (Kampusrektor van die NWUPotchefstroomkampus) om vir jou hierdie ervaring nog beter te maak, deur die Gee Om Inisiatief wat prof. Herman saam
met Pukki geloods het. Jy kan daarom ook enige tyd direk met Pukki gesels deur Pukki@nwu.ac.za.
Groete,
Pukki
