Orientation 2023 at a glance

With the support of the Student Success Office, WUSA, Graduate Student Association, all six faculties and over 1000 student leaders, the University of Waterloo welcomed more than 6000 new students to campus during Orientation. Events for international, exchange, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as parents and supporters, ran from Thursday August 31 to Saturday September 9, 2023.  

With lessons learned from last year’s return to in-person events and incorporated student feedback, an engaging roster of events was offered to the newest members of the Warrior community.  

The Student Success Office is opening a call to student support units to participate in a new event for student-facing employees, such as academic advisors, program coordinators, immigration consultants and others who work directly with current students. As campus returns to primarily in-person learning for the first fall term since 2019, staff and faculty are working hard to re-orient students to our campus.

As students continue their transition back to in-person learning and on-campus experiences for the spring 2022 term, the Student Success Office (SSO) will offer a variety of services and resources in a hybrid model to best meet their needs.
