SAPL Student Orientation

SAPL Student Orientation

When you arrive Monday morning, head to the main lobby where volunteers will be available to welcome you. Look for the volunteers in SAPL t-shirts. They will direct you to the correct elevators and help you get where you need to go!

Orientation is a series of events, workshops, and information sessions where incoming students can learn about what to expect during the Fall and Winter semesters. For students starting in Fall 2026, it will take place from August 24 to 28. Mandatory safety training for the workshop will be provided.

Some orientation activities require registration. Visit your program's orientation page for registration details and event information.
