Explore all the resources U of T Scarborough has to offer!
Please note, although this orientation is offered in both virtual and in-person formats, it is highly encouraged that students attend in-person if they have the option.
Get Started On Campus (In-person sessions): A First Year Peer will lead small groups, divided by degree type, through the course selection process and answer questions on your transition in the fall. This highly interactive and engaging session includes time in computer labs to enter your courses into ACORN. An Academic and Learning Strategist will also share tips to ensure you have your schedule properly set up for the fall and winter semesters. Pre-registration required. Prior to attending, you are required to watch the Course Selection Module as this will help you understand how to choose courses. Complete the Course Planner and bring a hardcopy (or save an electronic copy) to have it double-checked by an Academic & Learning Strategist when you arrive for the Get Started program. This module and the Course Planner will be available come mid-May.
