How do I download the Tertiary Open Day (TOD) app?
You don't need to look for it on the App Store/Google Play, but you will need to register at the URL below. You will then be sent an email with all the information you need:
- Go to the app registration link ( https://events.otago.ac.nz/2023tod/otago-app) and register.
- Check your inbox for a confirmation email containing a download link and a unique PIN.
- Open the app and enter the event code

Once you have the app you have access to the same information as in the booklet. However two things have been added:
- There is now a Sunday Law presentation at 3:30–4:30pm in St David Lecture Theatre, and
- Two tours of the Dental School, both on Sunday at 2pm and 2:30pm.
