George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
The ultimate introduction to George Brown is Orientation
At your Orientation, you'll:
- Meet the faculty and staff who are here to support you
- Make new friends
- Take a tour of your campus
- Understand how your program works and what you'll need to start
- Get your questions answered
- Discover useful student services and opportunities
- Grab swag, play games, get crafty, and more!
Orientation is where you can get all of your questions answered before school starts, so you won't want to miss it!
Need help? Find a Volunteer
Our friendly staff and student volunteers will be there to help you find where you need to go — look for anyone in a Volunteer shirt for any questions!
Check out the Service Fair
Make sure to visit the Service Fair to learn more about how to access the supports available to you at George Brown, such as financial assistance, athletics, counselling, tutoring, the Student Association, and much more. You'll also find fun giveaways and games there!
Campus Tours
Don't forget to go on a tour of your campus! You can even attend other Orientations if you want to take tours of the other campuses, too. You'll be glad to know the lay of the land before your first class!
