Orientation for new students begins on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 and runs through to Monday, January 9, 2012. Your orientation will happen on only one day throughout this week. Make sure to check your schedule and register to attend orientation to find out when your day will be.
Orientation is a great way to meet new people, get used to your campus and its resources, find out who your classmates and instructors will be, and find out what you need to be doing to be successful from the first day of class. Don't miss out and come to orientation!
All programs are grouped into “schools”, for example, if you are taking Business Management, your school is The Business School. To find out your school name, please see the program listings here.
Orientation is designed to provide you with the opportunity to meet your future classmates, tour the campus, interact with your Program Coordinator and faculty members plus introduce you to all the services on campus to help make you successful. You will also have the opportunity to partake in many fun and free events over the week. Check out the Week at a Glance for more information.

Orientation at Humber includes:
There are some sessions offered during Orientation Week that are strongly recommended and should be considered mandatory for all incoming students. These are intended to prepare you for the start of classes.
Other activities are optional; however, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunities provided. We believe by attending as many of the additional information and social events you will feel more connected with your new Humber family. In the end, this will help you to FIND YOUR DIRECTION. SEE YOU THERE!

Yes. Parents or family are welcome to attend a special one hour Orientation session just for them so they can learn about the college and have all their questions answered. Please note that this is separate from your Orientation so you will not be spending the day together. Both you and your family members will be having too much fun to notice the other is not around.
Information for parents and family members can be found here.
Orientation is free for new students including all the social events, food and special programming! The Humber Students’ Federation is your source for fun on campus and will be teaming up with the Student Success & Engagement team to put on some great socials for you.
