What is New Student Orientation?

New Student Orientation serves as the main introduction and welcome to the University of Alberta for new students.

The program eases the transition to university life by delivering important content through presentations, panels, and campus tours. Additionally, New Student Orientation creates connections between new students, as well as to volunteer leaders.

What is Campus Kickoff?

Campus Kickoff is a special event happening in Main Quad on August 31st to celebrate student life on campus! Highlights of the day will include an outdoor concert, clubs fair, games, and Presidents' Address - where students get to hear welcoming words from University and community leaders.
