Finding Your Way at Wits Support services offered by the university are outlined in the Student Life & Support section of this handbook. A tentative timetable is included in this handbook, however students are advised venues are not always confirmed until just before classes begin, and the final timetable will be available at School of Architecture & Planning reception desk in the John Moffat Building. While some courses are offered from our own John Moffat Building and Extension, many of the lectures are held elsewhere on campus. Timetables often use the abbreviations listed to the right to indicate the building venue. Wits has easy access to Braamfontein which offers good public transport, shopping and leisure spaces. Juta Street is one of the city’s most exciting cultural strips. Students are encouraged to make the most of this location and to sign up for notifications of First Thursdays and Wits Art Museum events. There are also some co-work spaces popping up in these neighbourhoods, as well as on campus in the PPS lounge.
