My university is having some sort of a challenge. I am really excited by this, but I can't even get through the first part of it.

I thought you guys might find it interesting:

Here it goes:

The first part involves decoding the following chipertext:

FGPGZ AGCAE CRRVF GPWJG QCLFA QLFGV GQLUM HRJGU OWCUR CLFGE JCGOY EAGQU RQJGT GJQLG

Hint:

Turn two to the left, then two to the right,
Repeat, to get on the other side.
Don't be afraid: go, see and conquer,
You'll find secrets, fun and wonder!

I tried applying a Caesar shift, but it doesn't seem to be the way to go.

The key is to

Shift two in one direction, then two in the other, back and forth

You get

HEREB YIACC EPTTH ERULE SANDC ONDIT IONSO FTHIS QUEST ANDIC LAIMA CCESS TOLEV ELONE

Which is

"Hereby I accept the rules and conditions of this quest and I claim access to level one"
when you move the spaces
