Orientation for New Students
Student Orientation 2011

Student Orientation

Student Orientation consists of two parts: Academic Orientation (mandatory) and Social Orientation (optional, but highly recommended).

Academic Orientation is a MUST for new students. You are introduced, most importantly, to your academic advisor and your student peer advisors - your key to academic success at York University.

Students who do well at university, in life, and in their careers get involved. There are hundreds of ways of getting involved through your College and at York in general. We make the introductions at Academic Orientation. 

At Academic Orientation, you meet York's leaders - the President, the Dean, the Master, departmental Chairs, and Program Directors. We introduce you to the terrific resources here that can help you financially, emotionally, and academically.

You can attend Academic Orientation on either Monday August 29th or Tuesday August 30th (you only have to go to one). To register for Academic Orientation click on the appropriate link (choose one date only):

Location: Winters Dining Halll (View the York Campus Map for directions)

Social Orientation, also known as Frosh Week, is hosted by the McLaughlin College Students' Council. Starting Friday August 31, you will have the opportunity to experience an action-packed week of social events, all with the purchase of a frosh kit!

More information about cost and events will be forthcoming in the summer issue of MacMedia, the McLaughlin College newspaper. If you do not receive a copy by mail, be sure to come to the RED Zone to pick one up - they will be available towards the end of July. See you there!

If you have any questions regarding Social Orientation please contact the McLaughlin College Students' Council at macfrosh@yorku.ca.

Residence Move-In Day is Friday August 31, for new students.

Parents Orientation

Parents Orientation will take place on Friday, August31st from 12:30-3 pm. To register, click here. (On the same day York hosts a university-wide Parents Orientation as well. We would recommend that you attend the morning session if you plan to attend the McLaughlin College Parents Orientation.)

Location: McLaughlin Senior Common Room in McLaughlin College (Room 140 - View the York Campus Map in order to find the right building)
A light lunch will be provided before the session begins. However, you will be responsible for parking.
