i went to school ( level 3) yesterday. the receptionist confirmed it. then she found the co-ordinator, a guy named Kevin or Kelly. He confirmed it again.
There'll be people there, regardless of whether the tuts are actually on or not. If it's not, you can just spend the hour getting to know your classmates.
my my unsw says the same thing for my subjects, i.e. some tutes start week one. i think that is just the school of economics cheating on how many hours they teach you.
Most course outlines will say when tutorials start, and from that I found that mine were in week 2 or even 3.
