Student Orientation
Student Orientation at York consists of two parts: York Orientation Day (which includes Academic Orientation at many of the Colleges), and Social Orientation (Froshweek).
York Orientation Day/Academic Orientation
We want you to have a smooth transition to university life and have planned this orientation to help you succeed at York. We will introduce you to the academic services, social activities, recreational activities and facilities available to you, both at your college and throughout the university.
York Orientation Day is on Tuesday Sept 8, 2015. Many colleges also have their Academic Orientation on the same day. Please visit your college website for college-specific Orientation information:
