Mandatory orientation and information sessions

This information session will be followed by a guided tour of the campus, allowing you to explore the pavilions housing the services essential to your success, and to learn how to orient yourself in your new environment. Guided tours are all by foot, rain or shine. Dress accordingly.

Don’t miss your chance to start the session off on the right foot!
