You are invited and encouraged to participate in a special five-day orientation program organized by Laurier International for incoming international and exchange students at our Waterloo and Brantford Campuses.
Participants can live in residence if needed, and attend daily information sessions and workshops specifically designed to make sure they have the knowledge and skills they need to have a positive and successful experience at Laurier. Additionally there will be organized social activities in the evenings which include sporting events, movies, and more!
The week following International Orientation is Campus Orientation Week (“O Week”), organized by the Students’ Union to welcome first year students to the Laurier community, through a balanced week of fun, safe, and informative activities. We recommend that all first year international degree seeking students participate in O Week, however it is not a replacement for International Orientation.
Registration for IO Week will close on August 15, 2010, however, registration may close early if capacity is met.
