Welcome to Durham College (DC), September 2024 First-Year students!

Orientation begins before classes start to help first-year students with their transition to DC. It consists of academic and social events to help students learn about their new program, make connections, and become familiar with the Oshawa and Whitby campuses.

The Orientation events page will soon be updated with a full list of July and August Start Strong sessions, campus tours, and Orientation events.

SAVE THE DATES FOR FACULTY WELCOME WEEK!

New students will receive more detailed event information this summer. In the meantime, please note the date for your in-person Faculty Welcome. Please note that each of DC’s 145+ full-time programs is part of a larger Faculty.
