Pre-Orientation
Event Navigation
Note: This event takes place in Calglary, AB.
Pre-Orientation is a great way for new students to start checking things off their “to do” list to get ready for fall (BrandonU.ca/Accepted). This is a face-to-face opportunity to gather information as students need it. Participation is optional.
There are two opportunities to participate in Pre-Orientation: June 6 and June 7. Both days are the same.
All-Day Check-in: 1pm-4pm
Check in when you arrive at the entrance of the John E. Robbins Library. Student Leaders will be on hand to guide you to the information fair, to workshops, and tours.
