What can/can't I bring to the event?

We promise it will still be a great time.

What is Orientation Week?

• Orientation Week (O’Week) is a week-long series of events, activities, and workshops designed to welcome new students to York University and help them transition into university life. It’s a chance to meet other first-years, make friends, and learn about the campus and its resources, all while participating in fun activities!

Is there a cost to participate?
