Is O-Week the same as Frosh week?

Yes. O-Week and Frosh are the same thing but this year Calumet is avoiding the use of the word “Frosh” and the terms that follow it.

What is my College Affiliation?

Every undergraduate student is assigned to a College based on their faculty and program of study. Calumet college is under the faculty of health. It houses the following programs:

  • Psychology

  • Global Health

  • Health Informatics

  • Heath Management

  • Health Policy

  • Health Studies

Students are recommended to attend the O-week from the college that houses their major. However, students are welcome to attend any O-week. You can check your college here. If it says Calumet, then you’re in the right spot!

When do Orientation Kits go on sale?

Orientation Kits sales start around the middle of July, so follow our Instagram and check back here regularly to stay updated!

Should I bring anything?

The Orientation Kits will include the essentials for a good O-Week experience, but food (snacks/packed meals), reuseable water bottle and medication are always good things to keep on you.

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

You can bring anything you want to O-Week EXCLUDING weapons, alcohol and illegal substances. York University and Calumet promote a dry O-Week which means no intoxication of any kind is permitted throughout this week. It has been a York University tradition and we've had nothing but fun! We promise it will still be a great time.

Do I have to bring the ticket to the event?

You will need to bring the ticket (either printed or online) and your York University ID/government issued ID with you on the first day you arrive to pick up your kit and wristband! If you do not have your waiver form signed, you will not be able to register.

Are there ID requirements to enter any events?

Your O-Week Kits include a wristband and t-shirt that double as your entry requirement in order to participate in Calumet O-Week. However it never hurts to keep any piece of ID on you, especially your York University Student Card. Click here for more information on how to get your YU Card.

What kind of activities will there be during O-Week?

There will be many different activities throughout the week that will help you explore campus, make new connections, and have fun! The Calumet 2024 O-Week schedule will be posted soon, so keep a look out!

Do I have to attend every event?

No! Once you purchase your Calumet O-Week Kit, you have accsess to every event Calumet holds, but you are under no obligation to show up to every single one. However we still encourage first-years to try and attend as much as they can!
