Welcome to New College

By building a smaller community just for you, New College is here to provide the tools for academic achievement. We offer peer assisted study sessions for difficult programs as well as peer mentorship in your first year.

We’re also building a community to let you feel at home at York. You may choose to get involved on our student council or with one of our New College affiliated clubs. We also offer social and athletic trips and events to make the most of your studies. We also offer suite-styled Pond Residence affiliated with New College since 2014.

Whatever your needs may be, expect co-curricular support from orientation to convocation.
