What is Orientation?

University College offers two different streams for orientation programming.

Thrive Orientation is a free, two-day condensed and academically-focused orientation program run by the University College Office of the Dean of Students. More information on Thrive can be found on the Thrive Orientation page.

University College (UC) Orientation is a week-long program organized by the University College Literary and Athletic Society (UC Lit) with support from the College.

With engaging programming that complements the academic experience and builds a sense of community, this program is designed to support incoming students in their transition to university life. 

UC Orientation 2024 will take place from Sunday, August 25, 2024, until Friday, August 30, 2024.
