This timeline will provide you information regarding our very fast upcoming Orientation Week, taking place September 4th to September 6th. Please read the information carefully so that you’re prepared for the week!
A few quick notes: we move to the events as a group, so don’t worry about figuring out where all these places are. Just ensure that you can get to BARTLETT GYM located inside the PHYSICAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION CENTRE in the morning. Your Orientation Leaders will help you from there! Sunday is also move-in day for the Residence students; traffic may be a bit crazy because of it!
