A New Student Orientation will be held on Tuesday, September 5th, 2023 starting at 12:30 p.m. CT at the Lake of the Woods, Kenora Campus and includes a FREE LUNCH. Watch your college email for more information about orientation day.
At orientation, you will receive a package that will provide you with detailed “need-to-know” information about the campus and about being a Confederation College student including any updates to your timetable/course schedule. You will learn how to use Blackboard and other college systems. Important paperwork will also be completed. Plus, we will host a free student lunch. It will be a great time to get to know fellow classmates, faculty and staff. Please plan to join us for the day’s events.
During the week of September 5th, some programs will also have a program specific orientation hosted by the faculty program coordinator. Watch your college email for more information.
