New student orientation

Dalhousie Student Union's Orientation Week (also known as "O-Week") offers fun and interactive events for new students, including music, movies, games and much more!

Orientation programming introduces new students to important academic info, communities on campus, social engagement opportunities, support services, and resources available on campus.

Additional sessions and events are offered through the International Centre, Black Student Advising Centre, Indigenous Student Centre, and Able@Dal.

New to Dal AC programming incorporates all the important information you need to make lasting connections with your fellow Aggies and be successful in your first year of university and beyond! Hosted by your Dalhousie Agricultural Student Association and the Student Success Centre team, events are open to all new students attending the Dalhousie campus in Truro. Programs will use interactive tools and activities to educate students on the essential support services that are available to help you succeed. Join us this fall to connect with your campus community and start building engaging and supportive relationships with fellow students, staff, and instructors.

The New Student Orientation course on Brightspace includes videos that help new students prepare for university and provides tips and tools for success. Each section contains videos that cover a wide range of topics, including academic expectations, how to manage your money, taking care of your health, and more. 

Together@Dal: Grad Edition is for graduate students across the university's departments and campuses, and will help you prepare to start your degree. Learn about resources available to you and professional development programming built exclusively for you.
