Brightspace s where you will access all your course information beginning the first day of classes on Tuesday, September 6th. While you are there, be sure to check out our helpful New to Dal videos for all the details and info you will need before arriving on campus. You will also want to visit the Student Online Interactive Lounge (SOIL) to stay connected with AC student activities and upcoming events.

We will continue to update the schedule throughout the summer- keep checking back for more info.

This is a busy and exciting time for new students! We encourage you to get involved in as many New to Dal events and programs as possible. Along with all the important information you will gain and friends you will make, there will also be prize draws, chances to win Dal gear for participating, and so much more!

Events are FREE and open to all new students attending the Truro Campus. 

While there are no fees or costs to attend NTD - AC events, we do ask that you register if you plan to participate. Registration helps ensure we are fully prepared for each program and event! 

A free bus service will be provided to transport students to off-site events, including the rugby exhibition game and Riverbreeze Corn Maze. If you plan to attend these events, register early to ensure we have a spot for you on the bus!

Also, be sure to download the Dal Mobile app, and bring your phone and DalCard with you when you attend events. We will be swiping student IDs, and using QR codes and the mobile app for students to check-in at NTD - AC events and programs. Each time you check-in for an event, you will be automatically entered to win exciting door prizes!  

Registration is not required for winter NTD participation!
