first year students
Welcome first year students to the RUW family.
This website has been created just for you, to help you and support you during this semester.
Message from the President
Dear First Year Students,
Welcome to the RUW family! You are now part of an amazing university which will be your home away from home for the next 4 years. The situation with COVID-19 will make this year a very different first year for you. Due to this situation, you will start studying at the comfort of your home 100% online for the first seven weeks of the semester. Even though you are not coming to the campus at the moment, I want you to know that we are here to help you and give you all the support you need. This website has been designed with you in mind and with the goal of providing you as much support and information as you need. You will find contact information for individuals in your College who can help you as well as contact information for an individual in my office who can help you. Do not hesitate to call these people, if you need help. In addition, I will hold an online meeting for all first year students every two weeks and you will find the dates and times of these meetings on this website. Please do not hesitate to let me know of any challenges you are facing or situations you need help with. Together we will support each other and you will have a successful first semester. Always remember that you are now part of the RUW family and we will always be here to help you. I wish you all the best for a successful first semester!

Tips if you are new to online education
Find a quiet place for your online class – not a coffee shop, not while driving your car etc., but a quiet place at home
Use your laptop – not your mobile phone
Setup your equipment so that you can easily take notes
As with any class, make sure you prepare well
Make sure you are muted
Practice active listening. It is easy to get distracted when listening to someone through your laptop – keep eyes on screen, nod, smile, react to your Professor, take notes, expand your vestural learning window to full size so that you are not distracted by other apps, e-mail, web etc.
Do not be afraid to participate! Make sure you know how to ask a question, make a comment
Use the chat feature to ask questions of your Professor
