Get oriented @ Woodsworth

Academic advisors and other staff from the Office of the Registrar will be holding a series of virtual Q&A sessions and orientation workshops throughout the spring and summer to help you prepare for the fall (note: the June 26, 2025 Course Selection Workshop will be held in-person.) We are also running a virtual Welcome Event on June 25, 2025 from 10:00 - 11:30 am where you can learn about summer transition activities and campus supports, hear from current students and learn about maintaining wellness in university.

Starting on June 4, 2025, you will have access to Welcome to Woodsworth: a virtual course hosted on Quercus, U of T’s learning platform. This online resource covers all the info you'll need as a new Woodsworth student: everything from course enrolment to finances to student life.

Be sure to visit the Welcome to Woodsworth course so that you can access these resources. We recommend treating this course like a real class and setting aside some time throughout the summer to go through the content. While there are no hard deadlines to complete the modules, we’ll suggest some target completion dates. 

The orientation team is excited for you to join them for a week of fun, learning, and making new friends. Get ready for some exciting activities, informational sessions and adventure. 

This event typically takes place in early September. Dates will be posted here in Summer 2025.
