Updating course in divinity given to new undergraduate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refresher

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

'updating course' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'divinity given to new undergraduate' is the wordplay.
'divinity' becomes 're' (Re is an example).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'new undergraduate' becomes 'fresher' (fresher is a kind of undergraduate. I am not sure about the 'new' bit.**).
're'+'fresher'='REFRESHER'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refresher that I've seen before include "This reinvigorates" , "one kind of course" , "Sort of course" , "Top-up course" , "drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
