Orientation - New Students

Welcome to your first year at the University of Manitoba!   Orientation events and info sessions are organized by experienced U of M staff and students to help familiarize new students with the different aspects of university life.  Orientation makes it easier for new students to develop the skills and experience required to succeed during their first year.     Orientation happens at the start of each academic term (September and January) and is considered to be the first day of school of U1 students.       Orientation events include:  

• A homeroom session lead by current U of M students that gives you a student-perspective about life on the U of M campus;
• Information on what to expect your first day of class, university vocabulary, transitioning from high school/workforce to university, and much more;
• Guidelines for first-year time management and valuable study tips;
• Campus tours;
• Information on academic resources and services at the University of Manitoba, as well as student responsibilities and administrative resources;
• A chance to connect with other new U1 Students
