Academic program orientations allow you to connect with faculty, staff and your peers! This is where you will find out what to expect in class and get your questions answered on the specifics of your program.

We highly recommend you sign up for yours for the best start to your courses!

What to expect:

  • Meet your coordinator and/or faculty
  • Find out the expectations of your specific program
  • Meet your fellow classmates
  • Get an opportunity to ask questions

What to ask:

  • What do I need for day 1?
  • Are classes held online or in-person?
  • What materials or equipment do I need?
  • How do I add/drop classes?
  • Who do I contact for academic support?
  • How do I connect with my faculty?
  • What safety procedures and protocols should I be aware of?
