Starting classes this Fall? Like the name says, your Centennial College Orientation will give you a chance to find your bearings before you start your classes, by showing how, where, what and with whom you’ll be learning. But more importantly, you’ll get a sense of what it’s like learning at the place you’ll soon be a part of. This semester, we’ve moved our orientation in-person and hi-flex. Visit our orientation page to learn more. Here’s what you can expect by attending our orientation!
1. Meet the people you’re learning with
Learning is easier if you’re doing it with people you know and like, and at Orientation, you’ll get to meet like-minded students, and maybe even lifelong friends. By attending Orientation, you get connected with peers in your program, and can even get started on creating study groups, sharing notes and more. At the same time, you’ll also get to meet the people who are teaching you, and you’ll get the chance to ask your faculty about anything you need to know about starting the program.
2. Learn and Access College Resources
We’re back, in-person and excited to get you oriented. By attending Orientation, and the fun-fair at the end of your session, you can find out more about myCard, health insurance, CCSAI, Libraries and the Learning Centre and much more.
3. Learn about what we can do for you
Centennial has tons of different services available to you and many of them go underused every year simply because students don’t find out about them. By attending Orientation, you get to find out what’s out there to help you set yourself up for success.
4. Learn about anything else you need to know
By attending some of our events, you’ll be given an opportunity to think about your future at Centennial College. For example, you can stop by our AMA booths (Ask Me Anything), and, well, ask us anything. We’ll be able to connect you to the resources that will support you while you’re on your learning journey.
5. Hit the ground running
Attending Orientation can definitely get you ahead academically. By attending HeadSTART or watching the recordings, you will be able to learn how to set up and get ready before you begin classes. Check your myCentennial portal to access HeadSTART to help prepare yourself!
