Orientation Information
We know that starting something new for the first time can be scary, but we cannot stress how important it is for all dual credit students to attend their mandatory orientation session.
The orientation is your first step to success!
It will help you navigate the campus, troubleshoot password and log in concerns and more.
There are TWO orientations you must ensure you attend / watch. There is one for the TDSB, and one for the college.
