Academic Welcome Day

Join us for Academic Welcome Day on Friday, May 2, 2025, in Gyms 3, 4, and 5! This half-day event is designed to introduce you to your faculty, program, and the Durham College (DC) community.

This session is for first-year May 2025 students at the Oshawa Campus. To get the full experience, plan to attend the entire session from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Here’s what to expect:

A warm welcome from your faculty
A program-specific orientation session
Social activities to help you start strong
Time before the event to visit the Campus Store, explore DC services, or pick up your parking pass (if notified it’s ready)

Enjoy light refreshments, grab your DC swag, and connect with new friends!

This in-person event is for first-year students only. Parents and supporters are welcome to stay on campus while the first-year student participates in Academic Welcome Day.

If you need accessibility accommodations (e.g., an interpreter), please contact the Student Development Office at firstyear@durhamcollege.ca at least 48 hours in advance so we can arrange support.

Free parking is available in Durham College’s Founders 2 Oshawa Campus lot. DC’s Interactive Map can be viewed here: https://map.durhamcollege.ca/.

We’re excited to welcome you to DC!
