Monday, September 6, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Explore UC is a session to explore what the Fall semester could look like for first-year University College students and what you can expect in a typical semester. We will also discuss how and where you can access support in the College to help you succeed personally and academically.

Tuesday, September 7, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

In this two-part session, you will learn all about the rich history, community, and resources here at UC!  Principal Markus Stock, Registrar Ryan Woolfrey, and Dean of Students Naeem Ordonez will give you a warm welcome and introduce you to your new community. In the second part of the event, you will hear from the Registrar’s Office about, the transition to University learning, important next steps and deadlines, and all the support available to you at UC. This session will help you build a memorable, rewarding, and successful experience at UofT.

Tuesday, September 7, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM 

In this 60-minute live talk, BK will explore how Consent Culture is a social way of being – it’s about how we relate to each other, not just sexual interactions, or intimate touch. What do you need to know and do? What kind of support can you get? This talk will show you -- openly, honestly, and with a sense of humour.

Coffee with Profs

Wednesday, September 8, 10:30 AM -12:30 PM

Don’t know what office hours are? Wondering what’s the best way to approach your profs?
