New Student Orientation

This page was designed to provide key information to help you navigate your program successfully. You'll find guidance on how the Undergraduate Student Services Office communicates with students, who to contact depending on your questions, where to find us, and more. We encourage you to read through the full page to gain a clearer understanding of the supports available and how we can assist you throughout your journey in the program. 

The Faculty of Nursing and the Nursing Undergraduate Student Association provide a detailed in-person orientation prior to the start of the Academic Year. This orientation provides some key information for students starting their BScN degree as well as gives them an opportunity to communicate with the Faculty as well as other students in the program directly.

Following this presentation, a document is emailed to all students who are starting the program in the Fall with notes on what was covered by the Faculty. You can find that document linked here.
