Activity for fresher in tutorial, with Mac crashing (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matriculation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'activity for fresher' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in tutorial with mac crashing' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'crashing' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'tutorial'='intutorial'
'intutorial' put after 'mac' is 'macintutorial'.
'macintutorial' anagrammed gives 'MATRICULATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for matriculation that I've seen before include "Enrolment at university" , "Examination" , "university entrance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
